Telltale signs to come from leadership changes

[webfact]

The most lethal weapon has to be able to fly under the radar and pack a big punch. Chaithawat Tulathon is better than other candidates for the Move Forward Party’s helm in that regard, after Pita Limjaroenrat followed Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit into the parallel world of Thai politics. 

 

Most importantly, Move Forward needs a “statement” leadership after Pita. The likes of Sirikanya Tansakul might be able to compete with Chaithawat on every front but ideology. The biggest party thrives on ideological extremism and it will not want to dilute that image anytime soon. Chaithawat’s appointment would send a strong message loud and clear. 

 

Move Forward is running out of ideological choices when the legitimate leadership is concerned. Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and Piyabutr Sangkanokkul have been stuck in political limbo that will last for a while. Pannika Wanich has even suffered a far-greater blow, while Pita has bowed out because his political future is hanging in the balance. 

 

Chaithawat, 44, is a hot favourite because his revolutionary political ideology is said to be stronger than most in Move Forward. His name was in fact running neck and neck Pita’s when Future Forward was reincarnating as Move Forward.

Thailand always fascinating. Lots of ifs & buts and lots of surprises. Never dull.

I hope he has a clean record... he'll be checked all the way back to the day he was born, or even conceived if it suits.
