It is understood the members of the two Houses, 250 senators, and 499 elected MPs, will turn up in force. Legally, if Gen Prayut wins the vote, all sides must accept the result as the mechanism is stipulated in the charter that was approved in a referendum. Tomorrow will bring about a crucial chance for the Senate to prove that the public's mistrust of the selection process is wrong. They should abstain from voting, and leave the task of picking the next prime minister to MPs who were elected by the people. If Gen Prayut wins the vote regardless, he could confidently say he has been democratically elected.
