At the same time, the junta’s agenda entails measures to control the direction of Thai politics – in particular, by marginalizing opponents, especially politicians tied to the influential Shinawatra family. Indeed, the second major factor shaping the post-coup interregnum was the impeachment of Yingluck Shinawatra, the sister of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was deposed by the military in 2006 and remains abroad in self-imposed exile.
此外，军政府议程还包括控制泰国的政治方向——尤其需要排斥对手，特别是有权有势的西那瓦家族。事实上，影响后政变过渡期局势的第二大因素是弹劾前总理他信·西那瓦的妹妹英拉·西那瓦，2006年他信被军方废黜后一直在海外过着流亡生活。英拉则在五年中被禁止踏入政坛一步。
