This charter is the work of the National Council for Peace and Order in its effort to retain power,” Pheu Thai party’s secretary-general Phumtham Wechayachai posted to his Facebook. “We now see the political style of the pro-junta camp led by Phalang Pracharat Party. No politician from that camp would from now on pay much attention to the national interest and the people, he charged. The powers that be will use all means to retain power and Phalang Pracharat Party would try to continue with the same old premier, Phumtham said. The Future Forward Party overwhelmingly won the poll, but party list calculation gave two seats to the Democrat and Phalang Pracharat parties.
