By Thai Newsroom Reporters

 

FORMER PRIME MINISTER Thaksin Shinawatra has categorically denied that Thammanat Prompao has already made a secret deal with him about a probable return of the renegade MP and a dozen others to the Pheu Thai Party.

 

During a Care Clubhouse live podcast tonight (Oct. 11), Thaksin said there has been no such thing as a secret deal between the former deputy agriculture & cooperatives minister and himself which might otherwise have taken place anytime, anywhere.

 

Thaksin’s comments followed news reports that some kind of a deal has been reached in hidden fashion between Thammanat and himself to the extent that the renegade MP alongside 13 others under his command return to the Pheu Thai Party to which they had earlier belonged and seek reelection under the largest opposition party’s banners in the nationwide race to parliament expected early next year.

Thammanat Prompao

Can politics sink any lower?

As a general observation re: Taksin 

The guy really thinks he has a genuine chance of ever coming back?

With the powers that be, firmly against him?

Never gonna happen.

Unless he's resigned to his fate but tries to insert his kids into the picture to 'milk' his legacy like other dynasties (Gandis etc)

.

 

 

 

And of course, all politicians should be believed and especially this one..........

The great puppet master.  Imagine if they put Chan o cha and him in an election 

 

Perfect reason for a 3rd real party.

He would win. By a "country mile".

 

As for a "third party" I agree, but it would only be tolerated by the "powers that be" if it didn't significantly erode their vote base, but divided the opposition. If it looked like damaging their vote, or forming any sort of opposition alliance it would be "engineered" out of play, as rather happened last time.

Has Tony just awaken from the dead? After years of relative silence, he's in the news every day now...

Summed up nicely.

All of you PUPPETS know nothing about Thaksin, only what you think the media said about him.

The Thai people love him. Thailand has benefitted a lot from him. Yes he grabbed his share, but also ?Richard Nixon was the smartest US president........but he go caught. 

The Average Thai people NOW ARE SUFFERING AND CAN'T MAKE ENDS MEET as never before........Jus saying.

I was under the impression that those with red coloured spectacles should be against drugs, not taking them by the bucket load and making inane, uninformed posts. ????

Obviously a newbie who wasn't here during Thaksin's rape of Thailand time.

Same as is happening all over the world, do you not follow world news.

Maybe the crook that you hero worship can swoop in and save Europe instead.

Glad that you added this, just in case there was any doubt as to the level of your 'intelligence'. ????

Oh the irony. The man who made it open season on drug dealers and users, now maybe, collaborating with a convicted drug dealer.Is there a word for ethics in the Thai language?
