BANGKOK: Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s political future remained under wraps yesterday (Nov 22), with key members of the Sam Mitr faction of the Palang Pracharath party (PPRP) tight-lipped over

With the Apec summit now over and the House of Representatives entering its final stretch, the political temperature is set to rise with a number of issues to be closely watched.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's political future remained under wraps on Tuesday, with key members of the Sam Mitr faction of the Palang Pracharath party (PPRP) tight-lipped over the prospect of his joining the Ruam Thai Sang Chart party led by Pirapan Salirathavibhaga.

When all the Apec summit formalities are over, it's likely Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha will make the uncertainty about his political future clearer, particularly over whether he will cut links with the ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) and align with the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party (RTSCP), recently set up by his close aides. One thing is clear, he has no plan to leave politics.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his deputy, Gen Prawit Wongsuwon, on Tuesday rejected speculation by the opposition that the House could be dissolved in December.

Sam Mitr faction leaders have confirmed they will still back Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha as the prime ministerial candidate of the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP).
