The same thing happened in Yingluck's government. She was couped by her Defense Minister which took over the PM seat until now. 

A PM without the backing of the military is unlikely to survive long in Thailand during King Bhumibol's era. Dunno whether the same will happen with the current new King.   Rolleyes
Asked if Pheu Thai would back that, Paetongtarn, daughter of party patriarch and exiled billionaire Thaksin, said it could be discussed in the legislature.
"Pheu Thai has a clear stand that we won't abolish 112 (the section in the Thai Criminal Code) but there can be a discussion about the law in parliament.

In a sign of the potential flashpoints ahead, Pita on Monday repeated a promise to reform the lese majeste law that imposes harsh prison terms for insulting the monarchy.

This was an issue once deemed untouchable in Thai politics, and which Pheu Thai shied away from during the campaign.🤪😝😜
