What might prompt the PM to dissolve the House? According to Assoc Prof Dr Jade Donavanik, former adviser to the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) and Dean of the Faculty of Law at Dhurakij Pundit University, it is likely Gen Prayut will choose not to dissolve the House as there would be little gain in doing so. At present neither of these are true," said Mr Jade. "Critics will get at him if he can't complete his term despite seizing power," Mr Jade says. In his view, Gen Prayut's term begun in 2014 based on provisional clauses included in the 2017 charter which differ from those of the previous 2007 document.
