A ruling from the Constitutional Court on Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s 8-year term in office, whether it is in his favour or not, will be the “breaking point” for the Thai society, claimed United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) leader Jatuporn Prompan yesterday (Sunday).

 

Jatuporn and Nititorn Lamlua led a small group of protesters, who gathered at Ratchaprasong intersection in the heart of Bangkok today, to demand the ouster of the so-called “3-Ps”, who include Prime Minister Prayut, Acting Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan and Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda.

 

The UDD leader said that the number of protesters is not the issue, adding that they will be able to mobilise more people at the right time “which is not necessary yet.”

 

He did, however, hint that the right time for mass protests will be when the Constitutional Court issues its ruling on Prayut’s term in office, expected sometime in the next 4-5 weeks.

Technically, Prayut WAS elected in 2014 as PM.

 

After he illegally dissolved the elected House and half-elected Senate, he formed a new Senate and House (as I recall) by personal fiat which in turn according to the royally endorsed  Interim Constitution (aka Charter) written by the junta NCPO elected Prayut as PM.

 

And further in accordance with the Interim Constitution (consistent with the many that preceded and followed it with regard to election of the PM), Prayut was royally endorsed as PM as evidenced by such announcement in the Royal Gazette. 

 

Prayut's election in 2014 was legal and the election process was essentially the same in 2019 when Prayut was AGAIN elected PM. 

 

Following the same "rule of law" would unlikely elect your daughter (whom I do not know) as PM. But maybe you meant sarcasm rather than fact.

Sarcasm it was.
