To be a democratic leader, Prayut must be ready to embrace change

I agree that General Prayut Chan-o-cha should contest in the next election if he intends to become leader of the next government.
Prayut should also be reminded of the two prerequisites for a leader in a democratic environment:
First, he must go through the oftentimes arduous democratic process before making any final decision concerning state affairs – and not resort to the “Article-44” way.
Second, he must accept criticism rather than stay above it.
If General Prayut can conform to these two preconditions, he will earn the respect of the majority of Thais as well as increase his chances of success in any future political endeavours.
