Jatuporn predicts that a prime minister will not be selected this Friday
23 Sept 04:55 Key points summarised by AI
- Former red-shirt leader Jatuporn Promphan predicts Thailand will remain without a new prime minister this Friday, despite Pheu Thai's expected nomination of Srettha Thavisin.
- Jatuporn questions Srettha's viability, citing his past support for amending the lèse majesté law, similar to the stance that led to the rejection of Pita Limjaroenrat's candidacy.
- He warns that controversial video clips concerning Srettha's lèse majesté remarks and a land deal will be released on social media to undermine his candidacy before the joint sitting.
- Jatuporn advises Pheu Thai and Move Forward to maintain their alliance to prevent potential mass protests, cautioning against forming new coalitions.
- The Constitutional Court's upcoming decision on a petition challenging the rejection of Pita's renomination could further delay or suspend the prime ministerial selection process.
