Time is not on the side of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha as various groups of people want to see the back of him. Now that he has survived the last of four no-confidence votes in parliament since the March 2019 election, many are pinning their hopes that the eight-year prime ministerial term limit will upend Gen Prayut's rule.
Some are even urging him to dissolve parliament before the outcome of the term limit controversy in order to stay on as caretake prime minister for up to five months during the poll organisation, its results, and the formation of a coalition government thereafter.
