Another wasted year in Thai politicsListen to this articleCaretaker Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, the Bhumjaithai Party leader and its sole prime ministerial candidate, poses for a photo during an event on Wednesday to unveil policies ahead of the February general election. If it had taken place, a no-confidence debate could have been deeply damaging to Mr Anutin and his Bhumjaithai-led government. The People's Party was poised to bring out such skeletons and more from the Anutin government's closet. While early indications suggest a three-horse race among Bhumjaithai, Pheu Thai and the People's Party overshadowing smaller banners, the ruling party enjoys a considerable incumbency edge. Mr Anutin could well be Gen Prayut in a civilian guise.
