webfact Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, General Prawit Wongsuwan, elicited interest on July 18th, 2023, when he remained uncommunicative yet cheery amidst speculation about a possible bid for the prime minister's post against contender Pita. Post-cabinet meeting, Prawit exited the government building, smiling enigmatically, reported Thai Rath. When asked about the likelihood of him competing with Pita in the forthcoming electoral race, he merely smiled, offering no comment. Similarly, when questioned about his feelings on the potential nomination, Prawit's response was an echoing smile and a hasty departure in his private vehicle, his persistent grin being noteworthy. This silent, smiling reaction has incited conjecture and anticipation within political circles and beyond.

h90 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The only reason Prawit can be PM is to prepare new elections. There is no way he should be regular PM. In the election it was pretty clear that people do not want him..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not do a coup against a regular normal government You are very, very tiresome Your arguments are flawed, they persistently commit treason/coups and have for many decades Are you that blind to the facts? can you really not see the Military and the establishment are and always where the problem There is a chance for Thailand to progress and foreigners like you, people who really should know better show yourselves for what you are essentially selfish know it all's One recent benefit at least some of the other more vocal apologists/junta lovers seem to have seen the light and <deleted> with their drivel.... 3 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but the reality is that prawit & prayut and the military senators live in their own 'world' and have no interest in what the rest of Thailand thinks. In fact many of them would think that the civilians should just do as they are told and not be involved in such discussions. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Would not be even surprised if this clown decides to make it 500 elected MP's and 500 senators of his choice. He's seen what 250 can do and how they can give power back to the military - imagine the power of 500 of them ! 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should provide the non military parties more seats.
