BHUMJAITHAI PARTY leader Anutin Charnvirakul today (Jan.3) categorically dismissed speculation that he would merely wait to succeed Prayut Chan-o-cha as prime minister if the current one eventually continued to run the country for two more years after the next general election.

 

Anutin told reporters there will be no such thing as an “heir apparent” to the top post of government when asked whether he might possibly afford to see Prayut prolong his rule for two more years as provided by law after the nationwide election, regardless of a decisive number of MPs who may successfully endorse a partisan contestant for prime minister, so he would then take his turn to power throughout the latter half of the next House of Representatives’s four-year term.

 

The deputy prime minister-cum-public health minister insisted that the Bhumjaithai traditionally and automatically become core of a post-election coalition only if the second largest coalition partner, steered by de facto Bhumjaithai boss Newin Chidchob, happened to get most of the elected MPs, thus rendering the opportunity for his rising to power without sharing it with anyone else.

what a joke, .....................who is voting for either of you ?

 

oh but of course that doesn't matter - like I said ....what a joke

[hotchilli]

He has his eyes set on the top job... and he will do everything to get it.

What do you think the cannabis fiasco was all about, garnishing votes.

[worgeordie]

I hope Anutin ,does not get it ,I think he is clearly xenophobic of dirty Farangs

from the West , and could make our lives more difficult , but seems in love with

the Chinese......

Pure lies.  It is absolutely a done deal.  I have been saying it here on this forum for years.  You just need to google early photos of Anutin and see who he used to hang out with.

[Gottfrid]

But he still have a big smile.

[lujanit]

Prayhoot will shift the goal posts so that he can be PM for as long as he likes.

before either get elected, they need to win the election - but being Thailand don't worry about that as there are ways and means of ensuring that comes about.

Yet, he'll require the proverbial and controlling blessing - which I doubt he'll receive.

I don't believe he's in good stead within this circle. 

 

We'll have to be finding someone within the inner circle club to be more suitable. 

Any viable candidates are dwindling.

 

Here's an idea......how 'bout opening it up to all comers in a true free and democratic fashion. 

Nah. That might completely disrupt the ongoing oligarchical rule. 

Never mind. Just thinking out loud.

Well spoken... you hit it dead right on the proverbial nail.

Anutin keeps making Samonella sandwiches for Prayut in the hopes that he might get hungry enough to bite into one.

Has little to do with the proverbial hated Chinese.

Has everything to do with traditional Thai inner workings. 

 

 

Astounded as to how so many still don't know how things work here.

[Rhys]

[RandiRona]

Dont sell yourself Cheap Me Health Minister, you possess all the qualities.

 

Loaded pockets   ✅

Empty Brain.         ✅
