Srettha Not Being Replaced As PM Candidate: Prasert

[webfact]

 

PHEU THAI CANDIDATE FOR prime minister Srettha Thavisin will not be replaced with anyone else as pressed by the Bhumjaithai, according to Pheu Thai secretary-general Prasert Chanthararuangthong.

 

Prasert confirmed only the real estate mogul-turned-prime ministerial candidate will be named and voted in a joint House/Senate meeting later this month and that he will certainly not be replaced with Paetongtarn Shinawatra, one of a trio of Pheu Thai candidates for prime minister.

 

The Bhumjaithai has insisted that Paetongtarn, daughter of de facto Pheu Thai boss/deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, replace Srettha, known as personally associated with deposed prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, given the real estate tycoon’s verbal precondition that nobody in a Pheu Thai-led cabinet assume the same  ministerial portfolio of which they may be currently taking charge, albeit in a caretaker’s capacity.

what education does he have ? 

 

what education does Paetongtarn have ?

 

what qualifies either of them for the PM job ?

 

perhaps not a requirement on paper but it certainly helps when in charge of a country

I think they are both rich... the only qualification their party requires.

In the fold 5 minutes and dictating terms... Pheu Thai have screwed themselves this time.

Maybe not the right time to hang aroung in Thailand as potential civil unrest may errupt all over when the cards are handed out for sure ? hope not but guess it's safer to leave the country until things settle.

PT are a finished party they have sold there voters down the river they have become a toxic party in just a matter of weeks . I expect MFP to abstain in the vote and the unelected senators will not for this man to become PM . Thailand is now in chaos due to this corrupt set up to stop the party that won the most votes from taking office
