Once a staunch supporter of junta chief, ex-democrat now cooling off on backing prime minister’s return at govt helm.

BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT, SUTHEP THAUGSUBAN IS HEARING FAR FEWER CHEERS THAN HE ONCE DID

SUTHEP THAUGSUBAN yesterday led the Action Coalition for Thailand (ACT) Party to “pay respects to the land” in a bid to recruit party members despite restrictions on political movement. The party was co-founded by Suthep.

Incumbent Abhisit has backing of old guard while challenger is Suthep’s man, but military could be the real winner.

The anti-graft agency on Thursday rejected an allegation of unfair treatment by former deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban, regarding a corruption case against him.

Pro-junta political groups yesterday claimed the next election would see the rise of a new coalition while predicting the Shinawatra camp and the Pheu Thai Party would be defeated.

We have seen two acts of political insanity over the past few days. The question is which one of them – Suthep Thaugsuban publicly announcing he was going back on his words, or Thaksin Shinawatra reminding everyone that he remains the de facto supreme leader of the Pheu Thai Party – is the smarter of the two.
