DE FACTO BHUMJAITHAI boss Newin Chidchob today (Oct. 4) pledged to send Deputy Prime Minister-cum-Public Health Minister-cum-Bhumjaithai party leader Anutin Charnvirakul contesting for prime minister in the next general election.

 

During the 64th birthday celebrations held at Chang Arena in his home province of Buriram, the de facto Bhumjaithai boss told attendees that he has already made up his mind to promote Anutin as sole partisan candidate for premier.

 

Though the Bhumjaithai Party had endorsed Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha as head of the Palang Pracharath-led coalition government in the 2019 election, the second largest coalition partner will promote their own party leader next time, according to the former cabinet member and ex-MP of Buriram.

Boy that's a rare photo. More Chang on shirts than at a Thai dinner table

Anyone who’s got the stones to go against the grain and champion a psychoactive substance in this traditionally hardline judiciary deserves a crack at the whip imo. Polarising figure no doubt (mind you, the dirty farang thing is bang on in some cases), but I’d sooner have a successful businessman running things than some incompetent general. 

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse up pops the cum ganja baron to say oh yes it can ????

I kind of hope he runs. Anyone with the least bit of substance would beat him. He has presided over a devastating failure of leadership as health minister, and the people deeply despise this administration, and everyone connected to it. I doubt he could win the job of a local headman or mayor, much less PM. Assuming it is a fair election.

Yeah, he was very successful in enriching himself and his family. And he obviously thinks he is above the law. Are that the qualifications a PM should have?

Imagine Thailand politics would be about doing the best for the Thailand and the Thai people.

 

Now it seems it's about dynasties. Super rich families fight to be in power to be even richer. And it seems most Thai voters play along with that. Sad!

Good luck to Thailand and its mostly uneducated electorate digging more graves for their future generations ........ 

Maryjane in Thailand and now....

You guys just don't get it.  You still think an election will decide who is the next pm.  It is already decided...and it is Anutin.

 

Just google some old photos online and you will see who he used to hang out with as a lad.

 

That will also shed light on why he is a successful businessman.

Would he have been a successful businessman without daddy's help? Most of us doubt that.
