Former Thai Army chief trains eye on premiership
Article Abstract:
Gen. Chavalit Yongchaiyudh is aspiring to be Thailand's next prime minister. The 64-year-old leader of the New Aspiration Party may have a good chance of becoming the prime minister given the political difficulties being faced by the government of Prime Minister Banharn Silpa-archa. Gen. Chavalit, who left the military in 1990 for a political career, launched an anticommunist strategy in the early 1980s which eventually led to the downfall of the Communist Party of Thailand.
