Prawit supposedly as interim PM and Anutin certainly waiting in the wings to take control.

onthedarkside Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Constitutional Court Orders Prayut Suspended From Duties BANGKOK (AP) — The Constitutional Court ruled Wednesday that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha must suspend his active duties while the court decides whether he has overstayed his legal term in office. It was not immediately announced who would assume his duties as acting prime minister. Under law, it would be Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan, who is ranked first among several deputies . He is a close political ally of Prayuth and part of the same military clique that that staged the 2014 coup that initially brought him to power.
