PRIME MINISTER PRAYUT Chan-o-cha who has been ordered by court to stop performing as of yesterday is no longer politically righteous to come back as head of government, commented academics today (August 25).

 

National Institute of Development Administration’s (NIDA) Political and Development Strategies Project director Pichai Ratanadilok suggested Prayut call it quits now that he is no longer politically justifiable to return as head of government, given the fact that he has already run the country for eight years as maximumly provided by law.

 

Pichai encouraged Prayut to step down now though the Constitutional Court which has ordered him to immediately stop performing his duties is yet to deliver a ruling on his eight-year rule within next month.

It doesn't matter what they say really he has the army and what have they got paper even if the people are behind them they have to speak up or they will be run over by them again

A nice comfortable, and protected, semi-retirement should be playing out right about now........of course, with the proverbial advisory roles in place. ????

[spidermike007]

I think most would agree he was never righteous, fair, honest, capable, creative, progressive, good for the nation or deserving of the position. 

[ikke1959]

Behind the screens he stays in control.... Remove him from Government as long there is no decision made by the CC. Also no Defense Minister..

[chuang]

I will be back...

[lujanit]

With the billions he and his mates have stolen from the Thai taxpayers he should retire to Dubai so he and Taksin can compare notes on how they stole the money.  Still you get the government you deserve.

Wait and see what the court rules.. if he stays in power there will be turmoil in the country from protests.

But if given marching orders he still remains in his second position as minister of defense.. so he'll just move down the corridor a few rooms.

[Partenavia]

I suspect the decision has already been made, hence his comments. Just pausing to make it look correct.

All of that has little to do with positioning imaginary heads of states here.....as it's been reflected historically. 

And beyond......has less to do with the general society and the commons. 

It's all about something else - the usual cycle.

There is no comparison  to Thaksin who was elected by 26 million people and the dwarf  usurper. Thaksin would win  again if he was allowed to  run.

Thaksin is a  hero compared to this guy.

[The Hammer2021]

He was never 'righteous' political  or otherwise- he was never political- he's military and he helped to destroy  not nurture democracy. Treason is not righteous.

Prayut has already had his 8 years and the previous King appointed him at a certain date. In a real country, he would be done.

[MrJ2U]

Theres plenty of reason for him to be worried.  He's got far more enemies than friends.  

 

He's a total criminal and he should be justified in being worried about being prosecuted.  

 

He's lost face totally.  He'll be even more of a nut job than before.
