Thai court to decide if PM Prayut stays or goes

BANGKOK (AFP): A Thai court is set to rule Friday (Sept 30) on whether suspended prime minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha (pic) should be reinstated, or thrown out of office permanently, with a verdict in his favour likely to trigger protests.

The former army chief, who came to power in a 2014 military coup, was suspended last month while the court examined a legal challenge mounted by opposition parties who argued he had reached his term limit in power.
