FILE - In this Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014, file photo, Thailand's Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, center, arrives for an anniversary ceremony for the 21st infantry regiment, Queen's Guard, in Chonburi Province, Thailand. Prayuth became prime minister in a very Thai way: He led a military coup. Now after five years of running Thailand with absolute power, he’s seeking to hold on to the top job through the ballot box. The military's thinly veiled proxy party has put forward Prayuth as its nominee for prime minister after Sunday’s election. But running the show in an elected government may not be as easy though since he’ll no longer be able to muzzle opponents and rely on a rubberstamp legislature.
