Prayut leaves work early to listen to tenure verdict at home
General Prayut Chan-o-cha left Defence Ministry headquarters in Bangkok early on Friday, ahead of a court ruling on his tenure as prime minister due this afternoon.
Prayut was seen leaving his office by car at around 11.50am and heading to his residence at the 1st Infantry Regiment base on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road.
Prayut, along with Thais throughout the country, is awaiting the verdict of the Constitutional Court on whether he can continue as prime minister. The court will rule on an opposition petition asking whether Prayut’s constitutional eight-year term ended on August 24.
The court is due to deliver the verdict live via its YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/สํานักงานศาลรัฐธรรมนูญ) at 3pm today.
