BANGKOK – Paiboon Nititawan, Secretary-General of the Palang Pracharath Party, announced that party leader Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan has instructed MPs to join opposition parties in filing a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

 

The motion, invoking Article 151 of the Constitution, stems from concerns over the PM's perceived weakness and inexperience in international negotiations, particularly following a controversial conversation with Cambodia's Hun Sen.

 

Gen. Prawit has emphasised the importance of this action, even though the new cabinet has yet to be fully established.

Good for Prawit... Someone needed to step up to the plate and call her out on this.. She is clearly a patsy and when left alone without daddy to tell her what to say she has no clue how to deal with other leaders.

Would losing a no confidence vote trigger an election, or just a change of PM within the same coalition by a vote in the existing Parliament? Everyone knows Prawit wants to be PM... but through a general election, he and his party doesn't have much chance.

And no clue how to deal with anything.

 

What has she actually said / done to defuse / cancel this situation? Nothing.

Is this the frontend or backend of his yawn...

Thai politicians lack the DNA of voluntary resignation—instead, they cling to power relentlessly, even if it means paving the way for a military takeover.
