Nakharin Mektrairat has been voted in as the new Constitutional Court president by his fellow judges and will replace Worawit Kangsasitiam whose term ended in September.

 

Nakharin, 66, received five votes from the nine-member court, with two votes each for his two competitors. His official appointment as court president is pending royal endorsement.

 

Nakharin has been a Constitutional Court judge since November 2015 and is known for his decisions in two key cases – one regarding then-prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s eight-year term limit, and the other, the dissolution of the Future Forward Party.

Let's see if he will make it a hat-rick by letting Bhumjaithai continue..

If you look at the link he actually voted against Prayut being allowed to continue but he was certainly no friend of the Future Forward Party.
