Banharn tipped as next PM if Samak disqualified
Chart Thai Party leader Banharn Silapa-archa might emerge as the next prime minister if incumbent Samak Sundaravej was disqualified by the Constitution Court this afternoon, Banharn's deputy Somsak Prissanananthakul said on Tuesday.
Should Samak be removed from office by the judicial review, the Chart Thai Party would convene an urgent meeting to assess the situation which might lead to the nomination of Banharn, Somsak said.
Somsak has insisted that every coalition partner has a chance to replace Samak.
