BANGKOK, April 3 — Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha, facing a tough battle to win a new term, said Monday the kingdom needs an experienced leader, as candidates began registering for next month’s general election.
Prayut, 69, arrived on an open-top truck with prospective MPs and supporters from his United Thai Nation party in lively scenes at a Bangkok sports hall. Thais go to the polls on May 14 for the first election since the kingdom was rocked by major youth-led pro-democracy protests in 2020. While opposition parties are riding high in the polls, Thailand’s junta-scripted 2017 constitution gives army-favoured parties a big advantage when it comes to forming a government.
