Popular Post webfact 181661 Posted January 6 Popular Post Share Posted January 6 Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, left, and Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan, right. Photo: Thai Rath By Thai Newsroom Reporters PRIME MINISTER PRAYUT Chan-o-cha and Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan will be more likely to become head of government after the next general election than anyone else as far as unelected senators are concerned, according to a noted academic. Kasetsart University’s Political Science Association President Thanaporn Sriyakul has forecast the current premier who will contest the nationwide election to retain power under the Ruam Thai Sang Chart tickets and the deputy premier who will vie for prime minister under the Palang Pracharath banners will finally have the relatively large chances of landing themselves the post-election premiership. However, the political scientist predicted in case that the Palang Pracharath gets more MPs than the Ruam Thai Sang Chart in the general election, Prawit will simply call off his bid for prime minister only to give way for Prayut to prolong his rule for two more years as earlier allowed by court.

bkkcanuck8 3991 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I can see how Prayut or Prawit can end up being PM on paper... but if the numbers in parliament are too much in favour of opposition, I don't see how either of them would be able to maintain control of parliament to get anything done... and I could easily see them then having to face no confidence vote and lose those votes. At that point he has to either resign or call another election (and calling another election so soon would not likely improve things). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikke1959 14159 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) there are already only 66 million Thais instead of several websites said there are 70 million...So 4 million more votes for them could make it work..

Srikcir 17091 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 In case anyone missed it, the junta-appointed Senate would assure Thai electorate votes in the General Election are irrelevant when it comes to an elected PM. Consistent with "Thai-styled" democracy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle 6546 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Some "politicians" have secured their space in history, like Merkel, Kim Il Sung or Mugabe. These two gentlemen have already been lucky enough to grace the very same list of destroyers ........ and it took 'em much less than 16 years, the shortest of the listed ones being Dr Angela Merkel!

Requires a thorough cleansing [if you know what I mean] for any deluded fresh start to come about. Otherwise, it's all moot - the talk, speculation, dreamy rhetoric, etc..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
