The motion is likely to fail, in part because a ban on some Future Forward lawmakers increased Prayuth’s coalition majority. “Prime Minister Prayuth ... allows corruption to thrive and uses the power of his position to benefit himself and others,” Sompong Amornvivat, the leader of the Pheu Thai party and the opposition bloc, said during the opening of the censure debate.
