Thai PM calls on voters to make wise decision in next election
Bangkok (VNA) – Thai Prime Minister
Prayut Chan-o-cha has called on people to vote wisely when casting their
ballots in the general election slated for May.
In a speech at a ceremony to mark Thai Teachers' Day on
January 16, he said the country remains beset by problems that have
implications for the future and how the country would go forward. Thus, voters should ponder carefully in the next election to
contribute to the country’s strength and stability.
The PM made the call after he
officially joined the United Thai National Party (UTN) a week earlier to
represent the party to run for prime minister, instead of staying with the ruling
Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP). PPRP is the party that elected him the head of
government after the 2019 election.
According to a ruling by Thailand's Constitutional Court,
Prayut can serve as prime minister until 2025 if he wins the upcoming election./.
