Constitutional Court Rules Over the Petition, Affirming “Prayut” Not Other State Officer!

On September 18, 2019, Constitutional Court rejected a petition from 110 lawmakers that claimed Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha is ineligible for office.

The Court mentioned that the ministership of PM Prayut will not be terminated because at the time he maintained his power, the status as a leader of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) did not consider as a state officer due to the acquisition from a coup.
