Charter bill still afloat
Bangkok Post
|December 04, 2025
The month of December commences amid considerable political uncertainty.
-
As parliament is set to convene its extraordinary session on Dec 10-11 to deliberate the proposed changes to the charter, to be followed by a regular session the day after, speculation mounts that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul may attempt to dissolve the House early — in a bid to counter the Pheu Thai Party's threatened no-confidence motion.
The Bhunjaithai Party (BJT) is well aware that an early dissolution would give it a disadvantage in the next election, which is just months away. As the head of the government, Mr Anutin and the BJT may have a chance to regain the approval of the public if they can get flood-hit Hat Yat back on its feet, and the other inundated parts of the South, through a flood rehabilitation and compensation programme.
