PM announces his decision to join United Thai Nation Party

[webfact]

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha announced today (Friday) that he has decided to join the United Thai Nation Party (Ruam Thai Sang Chart), ending months-long speculation about when he will formally join which party to contest the next election.

 

He told the media at Government House that he decided to join the United Thai Nation Party after it undertook to nominate him as the party’s candidate for the premiership post, adding that he will now apply for party membership.

 

He said that he had been preparing for some time to join the party, hoping that all parties concerned will be relieved by his decision today. He also said that it will depend on the people as to whether they will support him.

So joining them is one thing.  If he wants to be the PM again he should think about running as am MP and once elected then he can be nominated for the position of PM and not this BS about nominating an outsider.  If they can nominate an outsider why not just nominate my Half Thai daughter who is 15 now and knows more about world politics and how this country is so backwards because of the military coups.

And they just made their biggest mistake... taking him onboard.

They're sunk.

None, actually.

History just repeating itself over and again. 

Part and parcel of the cycling theatre that is the Thai political machine.

Hopefully Prayut will soon find a bigger Splinter group to sit on......

No, the people won’t have a say in it.  It will be up to the non-elected senators and those politicians who have been bribed to vote for Prayhoot.

You might but less of the "We".

 

You are not speaking for anybody that I know of, Thai or farang.

 

Judging by your avatar, you are not Thai, and have no vote anyway.
