The regime is here to stay. With law enforcement adopting double standards under its rule, the NCPO has taken action against activists and politicians who stood against it. Under the regime-sponsored charter, Gen Prayut recently handpicked 250 senators, the majority of whom are his cronies who will serve a five-year term. The regime is selling this as essential to effect a smooth transition over the next five years. Far from being better than the politicians they criticised, the NCPO has proved to be far worse.
