webfact Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Pheu Thai set to name new opposition leader By The Nation File photo Pheu Thai leader Viroj Pao-in is set to step down to make way for a new leader who will also lead the opposition against Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha’s government. The election of Pheu Thai’s new head will take place at the end of the month, said the party’s secretary-general Phumtham Wechayachai. It is expected that Chiang Mai MP Sompong Amornvivat will take the post but Phumtham said that the decision will be taken at the next party meeting. The meeting would also see a change of the party executive board. Phumtham would not say whether he would return as the party’s secretary-general. Viroj had to step down because he was not an MP while the Constitution demands the leader of the opposition must be the party leader and an MP.

So much for reconciliation. That never happened during the coup and will not happen after this stitched up election. We can only wish cha cha an very unhappy life.

That was an oversight, who was in charge of planning and logistics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisi Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The election will consist of one and only one o/s phone call, there is no need for any meeting as it should take less than 1 minute - hello, yes sir I understand, thank you sir, good bye.
