BANGKOK –  General Prawit Wongsuwan, leader of the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), has called an emergency meeting for 20th June, drawing significant attention as the party addresses the fallout from a leaked audio recording.

 

This clip features a phone conversation between Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Cambodia's Senate President Hun Sen, which has sparked widespread political intrigue.

 

Scheduled for 1 p.m., the meeting convenes the party's executive committee to deliberate on the current political landscape influenced by this audio revelation.

 

Observers are keenly watching for the party's subsequent statements, which will likely outline their political position and strategy.

 

The urgency of the matter is underlined by the unusual timing of the meeting, held on a Friday, differing from the party's regular Tuesday gatherings.

 

The decision to meet on an atypical day underscores the significance of the situation and the need for a prompt, united response from PPRP.

 

Following the meeting, General Prawit is expected to lead a press briefing, possibly offering insights into the party’s stance amid growing public and political interest in the recorded exchange's implications for Thai-Cambodian relations.

The Vultures are circling 

[dinsdale]

The army and the elites are smelling blood.

[Hunz Kittisak]

For the longest time there will be no coup.

The background has changed.

For a start refer to the current army chief background and how he got the top job. 
Much has changed since and it’s a lot to do with Thaksin planning

Why don't they call another election but they won't because they know the outcome

You of course, DO know the result but you cannot back it up, can you?

[phetphet]

What's that outfit he is wearing? Looks like he is advertising Aeriel Washing powder.

[lordgrinz]

Old sticky fingers looking to become PM by default, here's to hoping he chokes on a chicken bone.

Since both the previous "winners" have seen BOTH their parties disbanded, and the most recent members given Draconian political bans, with their most recent, most charismatic 'leader' pursuing a fellowship at Harvard University's Kennedy School in the US, who do you see as "winning" next time around?

And this Cambodian affair has a lot to do with the anti-Thaksin camp's planning.

 

When you have the army spokesman urging the public to have trust in the army, how can that be seen in any other way than please don't trust your incumbent government?

Personally I thought that was a weird quote from the army.  Trust them about what?

Repelling hordes of Cambodians riding over the disputed border on buffalos, or trust us when we kick out the politicians again.

While changes need to be made and the young PM should likely be removed, so should Prawit, who is an aging dinosaur and who has caused untold problems for the country over the past decade or so.

OMG there all coming out of the woodwork I hope Toni is planning the great escape for his inexperienced daughter before she ends up under house arrest as the vultures are circling ready to attack !

"urgent meeting"?! After his morning, afternoon, or late day nap?

Outcomes can be easily manipulated in the courts.
