PM will not be quitting anytime soonPrime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, right, and Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon in parliament. With the Covid-19 situation becoming more stable, the prime minister has regained the confidence that his flagging popularity can rebound. Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, the government's legal guru, already ruled out the possibility the prime minister would face the eight-year limit. About 58% of the respondents said Gen Prayut should call it quits while 20% still want him to carry on. Gen Prayut may find it easier to run the country from now, especially as the pro-democracy movement has become exhausted.
