PM putting poll on the fast track to failure

It is early days, but according to his current feeds on the @prayutofficial accounts at Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, the prime minister will be in every photo displayed.

'Maybe". That was the most up-to-date hint Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha gave to the press corps yesterday when asked whether he will enter the political fray.

In fact, this probability moved closer to reality with the launch of his Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts this week. One no longer really needs to second-guess whether he will enter the race in the upcoming general election tentatively planned for Feb 24.
