THE RULING PALANG PRACHARATH might probably name party boss Prawit Wongsuwan as the sole partisan contestant for prime minister in the next general election, thus keeping Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha at bay.

 

Deputy Palang Pracharath leader Paiboon Nititawan said today (Dec.19) the executive board of the largest coalition partner might finally name the Palang Pracharath top leader as the only partisan candidate for head of a post-election government rather than a couple or a trio of partisan contenders as earlier speculated.

 

Prayut who earlier admitted that he had intended to run the country for two more years after the next general election has remained non-committal as to whether he might possibly vie for head of a post-election government under the banners of Prawit’s camp.

he can afford to remain non-committal as he has a joker in his pocket: a coup d'etat! no need for a party,  no need for elections

Surprise,  Surprise,  Surprise as Gomer Pyle would say....times a ticking Mr. Watchman......

Out of 60 million Thais, this is the best they got?

Thai people have had enough of you -Prayuth and Anutin and the rest - that is what I hear, true democracy you would have no chance - pity the whole thing is rigged

The political scene in Thailand is disgraceful.....and beyond a joke!

However.....as usual, the Thai people will grin and take whatever is served...without question!

Looks like Anutin will have to wait.

Would it make any different who's the head of the party? nothing much will change anyway, appoint a scare crow for PM would give the same results...

I assume that Thai Airways inflight announcement on approaching any Thai airport from outside Thailand will be "Ladies and Gentlemen, kindly buckle up, put the back of your seat in an upright position, fold up your table as we are in the process to land in the Land of Dinosaurs". 

Or am I getting something wrong again? 

At least one knows exactly what to expect if Sleeping Beauty becomes PM. 

I wonder if he could beat Sleepy Joe Biden in a foot race...jus sayin

He still alive?  Seriously, they need some new, younger blood instead of the same old, same old.  Emphasis on old.

New Mafia generations as opposed to the old establishment. 

The club is the same regardless of the defined perspectives.

He may as well run for PM as he's too old to pick coconuts for export.

Great day for Rolex, Cartier, etc.

Anutin must be an inspiration for drug dealers.
