Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I te wa o te raru o te ao i timata i te marama o Noema 2013 me te whakaeke i te kawanatanga o Yingluck, i kii a Prayut ko te ope taua kaore e uru ki te patu. Heoi anō, i te marama o Mei 2014, i whakatūria e Prayut he whakatikatika hōia
i te kāwanatanga, ā, i riro i a ia te mana o te whenua hei rangatira, hei kaiārahi NCPO. I muri mai ka tukuna e ia he kaupapa ture mo te wa poto e whakawhiwhia ana ki a ia he mana nui, me te tuku i a ia ano mo te whakatikatika i te patu. I te marama o Akuhata 2014, i tohua ia hei Pirimia e te whare ture a-motu e whakahaeretia ana e te ope taua.
