A DEMOCRAT Party member foresees Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra dissolving the House of Representatives and calling an election in 90 days’ time before the Constitutional Court rules on a lawsuit against de facto Pheu Thai boss Thaksin Shinawatra and the largest ruling party, Amarin TV said today (Oct. 27).
Former maverick MP Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, who is now a member of Democrat Party, posted a message on his Facebook page saying, “Expected!!! Within 90 days, there will probably be an announcement to dissolve the House of Representatives before the Constitutional Court orders the dissolution of 1+6 political parties.
“The parties that will be running for office will probably have many new names. The public will probably be confused and won’t be able to remember.”
One reader asked him how sure he was, and he replied, “Over 70%.”
An activist lawyer, namely Thirayut Suwankesorn, lodged the lawsuit against the billionaire power player and Pheu Thai at the Office of the Attorney-General last month alleging he had illicitly dominated, masterminded and steered the Pheu Thai rank and file led by his daughter-turned-prime minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra whilst the whole party had unduly bowed to his influence, albeit exerted behind the scenes.
According to Thirayut’s lawsuit, the de facto Pheu Thai boss had hosted a hush-hush meeting of leading figures of all coalition partners at his Chan Song Lah house hours after former prime minister Srettha Thavisin had been deposed of power by the Constitutional Court in effort to urgently find a replacement for him last August.
Last week the Constitutional Court ordered the Office of the Attorney-General to forward this case within 15 days.
