PM consults Wissanu over Charter Court case against him

[webfact]

 

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin revealed today that he consulted former Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam regarding the Constitutional Court case, in which 40 senators are seeking to strip him of his ministerial status.

 

Srettha said that the discussion took place at Wissanu’s residence on May 26th, but declined to reveal any more details, stating that the case is ongoing.

 

On May 23rd, the Constitutional Court agreed to consider a petition by 40 senators, in which they accuse Srettha of violating §170 (4) and (5) of the Constitution.

 

The petition claims that the prime minister violated the Constitution by appointing Phichit Chuenban, a former convict, to a ministerial post.

 

Phichit has since resigned.

Am I screwed ?

Pita is available on notice.

That's one dapper looking Wissanu, resplendent in Apricot and Mauve, with a full head of jet-black hair and fashion sunglasses... He might be on the prowl for that special someone, since Prayut is unavailable.

Question

 

If he resigns or gets the boot does PTP have to consult with the coalition or can they just put paetong in place

Only defence I can see is total stupidity......that must be valid here.

Cross and double-cross going on. The guy from Dubai, who ran away to avoid a two year jail sentence for bribery, is back and playing his old games. PM out of his depth.

S: Am I toast?

W: You know you are, otherwise you wouldn't visit me.

S: Thank you.

W: You're welcome.

Buddy, they're looking to cook you and your sen·sei has now been indicted.

You dipped your toe into a quagmire of corrupt goo, go back to building stuff you'll be happier in the end.
