(Governmentn House photo)Six opposition parties plan to seek an interpretation by the Constitutional Court next August on when Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's tenure expires, as they believe his term must end on Aug 24, 2022, Cholnan Srikaew, leader of the opposition Pheu Thai Party, said on Wednesday. A House source said its legal team was assigned to go over the issue earlier and concluded the PM's tenure began on June 9, 2019. Metha Matkhao, secretary-general of the Campaign for Popular Democracy (CPD), said the findings of the House's legal team were nonsense. Gen Prayut declined to comment when questioned on the matter on Wednesday.
