This has been claimed in the opinion poll. And some fear a victory for the youngest daughter of ousted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra could push Thailand back into an earlier cycle of protests and military intervention. The opposition Phiu Thai, led by Paitongtarn Shinawatra (36), is expected to do better in the election.
Paitongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of ousted former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, is considered the frontrunner for the post of prime minister after the May 14 general election. This has been claimed in the opinion poll. And some fear a victory for the youngest daughter of ousted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra could push Thailand back into an earlier cycle of protests and military intervention. The opposition Phiu Thai, led by Paitongtarn Shinawatra (36), is expected to do better in the election.
The party has expressed hope that it will get an absolute majority, paving the way for Paitongtarn Shinawatra to become prime minister. During an event in March, Patongtorn outlined other policies including improving working conditions for workers, guaranteeing a higher minimum wage, reducing pollution and turning Thailand into a fintech hub. Thaksin was ousted by a military coup in 2006 and has been in self-exile for more than a decade to avoid a prison sentence for abuse of power. However, Thaksin has termed the allegations against him as politically motivated.
