All eyes will be on the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre after 4.30pm today. Representatives of Thai and foreign media outlets and many defectors from other parties, including Palang Pracharath (PPRP) and Pheu Thai, will be there for a major political event -- the formal registration to join the United Thai Nation Party (UTN), or Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party.
The event is significant because UTN is expected to announce Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, who will register today, as its premiership candidate in the next general election, albeit for two years only because he has already served six years in office.
