snoop1130 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (FILES) In this file photo taken on July 16, 2019 Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan (C) leaves Government House before the swearing-in ceremony for the new Thai cabinet in Bangkok. (Photo by Lillian SUWANRUMPHA / AFP) Palang Pracharath Party Leader Prawit Wongsuwan was formally nominated as the party’s sole candidate for next prime minister at its general meeting on Friday. Wirat Rattanaseth, a deputy party leader, told the media that party members were unanimous in their choice of General Prawit, who is also a deputy prime minister, as the sole candidate for Thailand’s 30th premiership. They claim to be confident that Prawit will be the next prime minister, following the party’s last candidate, General Prayut Chan-o-cha, who is the current prime minister. He urged all party members to join the party’s fund-raising meeting, scheduled for January 30th, during which, he said, the party will announce its priority policy to push for a monthly subsidy of 700 baht for state welfare card holders.

Throw in a solid candidate from Move Forward and other true opposition and we just might have something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for one of the dynamic duo to find a good reason to have the Move Forward Party to be banned by the constitutional court. Funny how the 3M baht donation to them has gone very quiet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoshowJones Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Would any Thai vote for a soldier for next PM especially old sleepyhead? Are the ordinary Thais going to be allowed to vote? Is this going to be a democratic election? If it is, would all the soldiers in parliament just now not be better just going back to their barracks and parade grounds? I think we all know that it will only be a matter of time before some general, or even the same unelected flip flopper who is in office just now, will gather up the soldiers, guns and tanks and it will again be as you were. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
