Sonthi says no to politics

"I will not enter politics," he said, adding he has never had any political ambitions.

Sonthi said he had no plans to hold an elected office nor to contest the senatorial race. He stopped short of ruling out a possibility of being invited to join the next government under the nonpartisan quota.

"I don't know whether anyone will invite me - this is still the future issue for me to consider," he said.
