Wissanu was, however, criticised for being close to Piyabutr Saengkanokkul, mentor of Move Forward Party core members

'Nipped in the bud' as they say.

Obviously he's never been in the army.

Nominated by an unelected committee, denied by an unelected Senate. Situation normal. "Thainess democracy."
