Suchinda a 58-year-old former army chief led a military coup in february 1991 that toppled an elected government. He was named prime minister on april 7 by a coalition of pro military parties that emerged with a parliamentary majority after the March elections. His appointment outraged civilians particularly the country a Middle class which is fed up with military dominance of politics. Thais launched huge demonstrations that plunged the country into its worst political and social crisis since the 1970s. The pro democracy forces demanded an elected politician to replace Suchinda who had reneged on a Promise not to become prime minister. The protests turned violent last week when troops killed at least 48 people and injured hundreds in suppressing demonstrations in downtown Bangkok.
