Thailand PM: 9 years after coup, Thailand PM Prayuth quits politics – Times of India
Prayuth, 69, has denied that and Tuesday said he had “achieved many successes”. “I as PM have worked hard to protect the nation, religion,monarchy for the benefit of the . . . people. The result is currently bearing fruit for the public,” he said. “I have tried to strengthen the country for stability and peace and overcame many obstacles domestically and internationally. ”
In the nine years since his coup, Prayuth has survived multiple challenges via court cases, house confidence votes and street protests by opponents who saw him as an opportunist who lacked a public mandate. His government has faced intense criticism over its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and the economy, with Thailand recording its worst economic performance since the 1990s under his tenure. His announcement comes as the new parliament prepares to convene on Thursday to hold a vote on who will be the next prime minister.
