A political group, jointly led by the leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), Jatuporn Prompan, and Nititorn Lamlua, is planning to hold a rally this weekend, to press for the ouster of the so called “3-Ps”, at Ratchaprasong intersection in the heart of Bangkok’s commercial district.

 

The “3-Ps” are Acting Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan, Defence Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who was suspended from duty as prime minister by the Constitutional Court onAugust 24th, and Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda.

 

Jatuporn told a news conference today (Thursday) that, as long as these three individuals are still in the government, the next general election may not take place.

Or it will be fixed again with a chosen leader and not a freely elected one.

Lets see how many people participate this time. The recent "demos" or in Thai called mob were hardly more than 30 people or so. 

Also interesting if the student groups and Din Daeng youth Thalugaz are going to join this event
