Charter Court ruling on PM’s term will be a “breaking point” - UDD leader Jatuporn
23 Sept 05:00Key points summarised by AI
UDD leader Jatuporn Prompan warns that the Constitutional Court's upcoming ruling on PM Prayut Chan-o-cha's 8-year term will be a "breaking point" for Thai society.
Jatuporn, alongside Nititorn Lamlua, led a protest in Bangkok, demanding the removal of the "3-Ps" (Prayut, Prawit, Anupong).
He indicated that mass protests would be mobilized once the Constitutional Court delivers its expected ruling on Prayut's term in 4-5 weeks.
Jatuporn also predicted the failure of attempts to amend Section 272 of the Constitution, which aims to remove senators' power in electing the prime minister.
