THE PHEU THAI-LED opposition bloc has encouraged Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to step down now that he has been ordered by court to stop performing his duties as of Wednesday (August 24) so that another person could quickly be found to take his place.

 

During a press conference at parliament, opposition leader/Pheu Thai party leader Chonlanan Srikaew suggested Prayut call it quits now, given the order of the Constitutional Court for him to immediately stop performing as premier until a court ruling on his eight-year rule has been delivered.

 

Though the Constitutional Court’s ruling is largely expected within next month, the case filed by the opposition bloc could be immediately lifted, sparing the judges the burden of determining whether Prayut’s eight-year rule maximumly provided by law may already have ended today, only if the embattled premier stepped down now, the opposition leader said.

Yeah. Tell him to step down and step away would be better, but we’ll see how it pans out.

Would have been nice to have sorted this all out before the end of Prayuts 8 year term which started in 2014.

But that would be the professional thing to do..

Replaced by whom? That is the question. One is as bad/useless as the other.
