Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha PM will be unveiled as PM candidate for the Ruam Thai Sang Chart (RTSC) Party on Monday, the party said on Wednesday.

Current MPs from the ruling Palang Pracharath Party, which nominated Prayut as PM in the 2019 election, will also resign to join the RTSC, it added.

Prayut will debut as an RTSC member at an event held at 5pm in the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, where his government successfully organised the Apec Summit in November, the party said.

Several MPs who plan to join RTSC will attend the event to congratulate and support Prayut, it added.

The prime minister will lead RTSC’s election campaign during his free time and at weekends.

The party said it will gradually unveil MP candidates during the campaign. It said MPs from the ruling Palang Pracharath Party, especially those in the South, will resign from their positions and join RTSC on February 7.
