webfact Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Prayut poised to take over party leadership: source By The Nation Former junta leader Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha is to become the official leader of the military-aligned party, Phalang Pracharat after the new Cabinet is installed, a source in the party said. A party assembly to change the executive board is expected next month, the source said. Uttama Savanayana would purportedly step down to give way to Prayut while Sontirat Sontijirawong would continue as the secretary-general. The move to push Prayut as the party leader is to reportedly transform the general into a full politician and weaken the association with the junta. Prayut planned to stay in politics for the long term, the source said. Without the party membership, it had also been difficult for the general to help the party campaign and build up popularity. Prayut's leadership of Phalang Pracharat was also to resolve the issue with the Sam Mitr or Three Allies group, which is influential in the party. The group had been a stumbling block in recent Cabinet portfolio allocation. Deputy prime minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, in charge of the government’s legal affairs, said yesterday that Prayut could take the position if he wanted. However, Wissanu also warned that if anything went wrong, Prayut would inevitably be affected as a party executive.

Chang_paarp Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Quote 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. From another thread from the Nation. https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1106150-pheu-thai-set-to-name-new-opposition-leader/ As the PM can be elected from outside in accordance with the constitution, how can he lead the party if he is not an MP? Was he a member 30/90 days prior to the election as required by relevant laws? Sooo many other questions. Not even going into his ability to negotiate....

He truly should honour you in some way, perhaps with a burnished, hand-signed trophy of appreciation, fashioned from pure Thai gold. I think you must be one of Prayut's most loyal and faithful (Western) supporters in the whole of Thailand (indeed, the world). That deserves a medal, surely (or he should grant you permanent residence in Thailand - with no need for 90-Day Reporting)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he has worked hard to ensure Thailand does not fall back into the old days of mayhem, lawlessness, road blocks and protests. I am sure you understand the Thai political system in that it cannot function properly without someone who can take control and instill leadership and direction. Could you imagine Yingluck or Suthep doing the same ..... I really don't think so. Ok, the Junta is not perfect, Khun Prayuth doesn't always initiate things that some of us agree on but at least he is there and in control. I prefer peace and stability and a functioning government, which is what Thailand currently has in place ... no one like instability and fighting.

I've almost spit my coffee all over the keyboard reading this. Is it possible to transform him back to a soldier and "reunite him with the Junta" if it turns out that it was a bad decision?

Regarding my Psychologist, the suicide rates under teenagers and younger folks have skyrocketed since he took what he wanted and that with a very negative tendency..... He's right that foreign ladies shouldn't wear bikinis on a Thai beach. You don't need a suntan, it's only causing cancer. He's such a smart man and together with his fortune tellers, we can look into a bright aeeh future. Why not swimming in jeans and a sweater, it's so much more fun!
