The possibility that Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha will remain as prime minister until 2025 was under discussion on Tuesday, after a document believed to be from Meechai Ruchuphan, former chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC), indicated that Gen Prayut’s eight-year tenure as prime minister began in 2017.
According to the written statement released on social media, Gen Prayut’s tenure started on April 6, 2017, the day the current constitution took effect. Therefore, Gen Prayut’s prime ministerial status before that date would not apply.
