In May, the King appointed the General. The army chief took both executive and legislative power in the country. The appointment with the King gave the General more credibility in the country.
Prayuth Chan-ocha vows to keep the country under democratic rules. Gen Prayuth started to take over as chief of the military in October 2010 and was considered a staunch royalist, having preferred favoring a difficult posture against the "Red Shirt" protest action promoting populist ex- Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra as well as the government of his sibling Yingluck.
After invading, Gen Prayuth declared that he desired the military to keep on being neutral, but a few of the actions triggered concerns over whether he was intervening in local politics.
In May 2011, a recognised opposition MP and Red Shirt leader, Jatuporn Promphan, was imprisoned after getting charged with making remarks considered to be insulting of the monarchy - a really severe offence in Thailand.
The case against him was prompted by a complaint from Gen Prayuth. He recommended during the time that his motive was not political but rather to shield the monarchy.
