Allies and substitute parties boost PM Prayut’s chance of another term

[webfact]

 

Even though Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has not yet said if he will seek another term in office, new political parties have formed with the core purpose of helping him return to power.

 

Among them are the Ruamthai Sarngchart Party and the Creative Thailand Party, founded in March and October last year, respectively.

 

Both are expected to back General Prayut during the post-election parliamentary vote for the next prime minister, as they are viewed as substitute parties for the ruling Palang Pracharath — which has suffered waning popularity and power following infighting and defections.
