Sometimes, I get a bit carried away," Gen Prayut told reporters at Government House following his outbursts in the morning. Gen Prayut has finally received a formal invitation to stand as the Palang Pracharath Party's (PPRP) prime ministerial candidate from the former ministers leading the pro-regime party. Gen Prayut said he needed time to make a decision. The PPRP has already named Mr Uttama and Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak as its other two prime ministerial picks. Mr Wissanu pointed out that Gen Prayut cannot attend PPRP meetings if he agrees to become its prime ministerial candidate, because Gen Prayut is still a political office-holder.
