Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha chaired his first Cabinet meeting today (Wednesday) at Government House after being absent since the Constitutional Court suspended him from active duty pending a ruling on his 8-year term in the office.

 

Last Friday, the Constitutional Court ruled by 6-3 that the prime minister’s term has not expired, as it should be calculated from the promulgation of the Constitution B.E. 2560 on April 6th, 2017.

 

During his suspension, Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan served as acting prime minister and chaired cabinet meetings. He did not, however, attend the meeting today due to illness.

"Constitutional Court ruled by 6-3".   3?? Does that mean the 3 did not send their brown envelopes in time? 

Great to see him back at work and moving the country even further forward!

 

May he stay for many many many years! Loved and admired all over the nation.

It means 3 had a conscience and the backbone to express it.

There is a recently pinned post that bears reading.
