PRIME MINISTER PRAYUT Chan-o-cha may opt to run for head of government under the banners of the brand-new Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party in lieu of the ruling Palang Pracharath Party for the next general election, according to a noted academic.

 

Burapa University political scientist Olarn Thinbangteo forecast today (Nov.21) Prayut would finally choose the Ruam Thai Sang Chart rather than the Palang Pracharath in spite of “fraternal” relationships which he has continually fostered with Palang Pracharath boss-cum-Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan.

 

Prayut who has literally kept his distance from the rank and file of Prawit’s party could possibly secure sizeable votes of support from among constituents nationwide only if he joined the Ruam Thai Sang Chart headed by former Democrat MP Pirapan Salirathawipak, the Burapa academic commented.

 

The coup leader-turned-premier who has earlier made it public that he had intended to prolong his rule for two more years provided by law after the next general election has so far declined to make comments about his own political future, saying it would be decided upon after the Apec meetings hosted by Thailand have ended.

Not in his own mind but hopefully the next election will get rid of him for good.
