Thailand is on tenterhooks with speculation swirling about a potential move by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra to dissolve the House of Representatives.

 

A member of the Democrat Party has predicted this event may occur within the next 90 days, presumably to preempt an impending decision by the Constitutional Court.

 

The court is set to rule on a lawsuit concerning Thaksin Shinawatra, Paetongtarn's father and the influential figure behind Pheu Thai, one of the ruling parties.

 

This claim came to public notice through the insights shared by Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, a former maverick MP now aligned with the Democrat Party.

 

He took to Facebook to voice his prediction, suggesting that a fresh election announcement might precede any court-mandated dissolution of Pheu Thai and other parties. Mongkolkit assessed the likelihood of this scenario at over 70%.

 

This political tremor stems from a legal complaint led by activist lawyer Thirayut Suwankesorn, directed at Thaksin and Pheu Thai. The charges involve allegations of Thaksin’s undue influence over the party, primarily orchestrated through his daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn.

 

The lawsuit contends that Thaksin managed a secretive convergence of coalition leaders at his residence, shortly after the Constitutional Court's dismissal of Thailand's former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.

 

Such a move from Paetongtarn could complicate an already bewildering political landscape, with new parties potentially entering the fray under unfamiliar banners, potentially confusing the electorate.

 

The urgency now lies with the Office of the Attorney-General, bound by the court's order to process this lawsuit within the designated 15-day timeframe, adding a ticking clock to the unfolding political drama, reported Thai Newsroom.

I've said before the royalist military establishment needs the PTP and visa versa. As for this story itself it's based on what one Democratic is saying about a rumour. Won't happen. If I'm wrong and it does it's time to keep an ear out for tank engines coming down the streets.

It's the old adage: believe non of what you read and half of what you see, especially in Thailand.

Do that and remove anybody form the Shinawatra family from politics.

That would be a good start.

You can be assure that someone did as the acting clone wouldn't have the intelligence to understand what she is saying.

Ung Ing is nothing but a sock puppet.

The corrupt Shinawatra clan is totally controlled by the Dragonhead.

If you read the OP properly, the rumour (and that is all it is), actually came from a member of the democratic party in opposition, and not the PTP.

Case in point why it's futile to make any plans surrounding the government or try to preempt them on things like taxes. They can change their minds and do 180 at any moment. Always do nothing and ignore them until something is directly in your face and requires immediate action.
