Reinstalling the monarchy is almost certainly not happening. If it did I wouldn’t expect the new gov to last, the monarchy lacks the popularity and infrastructure necessary for that to be successful.

He’s said in the past that his interest is in stepping in temporarily to establish democracy. I take it with a grain of salt. I think a lot of people are chanting in support of him out of the human tendency to look back to the “good old days”, but it doesn’t seem like he’s got widespread support as a permanent leader.
