Reds ready for court verdict
Play
A group of red-shirt supporters from Pathum Thani are due to hold a rally at Laksi Monument at Chaeng Wattana-Ram Intra intersection in Bangkok from Monday to Wednesday, in conjunction with another red-shirt gathering at Muang Thong Thani.
The organiser of the Laksi protest, Pongpisit “Lek Bandon” Kongsena, said they wanted to show support for the government. Fellow red-shirt Wuthipong “Ko Tee” Kotchatham said he agreed to put his differences with Lek Bandon behind in order to unify behind the government in the face of adversaries.
Wuthipong said the rallies would move to the Constitutional Court if the ruling goes against the government.
The court is due to hand down a verdict on the government’s charter-amendment bill on the Senate on Wednesday. This decision is expected to make or break the Yingluck Shinawatra administration.
Meanwhile, in Udon Thani, the red shirts organised a political rally yesterday evening, which the organisers said was held in light of the judicial review. Red-shirt leaders such as Nuttawut Saikuar, Jatuporn Promphan, Thida Thavornseth and Weng Tojirakarn, were billed to turn out in full force as rally speakers.
