BANGKOK -- Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha announced Friday he has joined the newly formed Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party (United Thai Nation) to run in May's general election, showing his determination to stay in power despite a recent ruling that limits his term to just another two years.
"I have been considering this for a while and I finally decided to join the Ruam Thai Sang Chart party," Prayuth told reporters. "I am already informed that the party will propose me as its prime ministerial candidate in the election next year," he said.
