Polls show advantage still with the opposition and that Pheu Thai is on course for government reins
by Carla Boonkong & Pranee O' Connor

 

image.jpeg

(From Left) Pita Limjaroenrat the leader of the Move Forward Party who is the capital’s first choice for prime minister according to last Sunday’s NIDA poll. Srettha Thavisin, the presumed nominee for prime minister for the Pheu Thai Party and Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the party’s figurehead who is also expected to be a nominee for the top job when papers are expected to be filed on April 5th next.


Two polls by two reputable polling organisations show the Pheu Thai Party and Move Forward Party still consolidating their position while the Bhumjaithai Party and Palang Pracharat parties appear to be crumbling in support in Bangkok and among urban voters.
