Thaksin reaffirms return, contemplates Pheu Thai need to change

[webfact]

 

By Arun Saronchai

The former Prime Minister of Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra, held a live social media session late Tuesday night to talk about the recent election and about his potential return to Thailand.

 

The former prime minister said, “Whatever will be, will be,” despite the looming threat of imprisonment. The query was raised after Thaksin expressed his desire to return home this July.

 

Thaksin, who has been living in self-exile since a 2008 corruption conviction, has been a controversial figure in Thai politics. His comments came amidst the country’s political turbulence following the recent general elections.

 

In a statement, Thaksin congratulated the Move Forward Party (MFP) for their electoral victory, which led to a significant shift in the political landscape of Bangkok, turning it predominantly orange, the color representing the MFP.

The outlook does seem very promising for both Tony and Tim, hopefully for Thailand too

So you have this article stating: "Despite this, Thaksin reaffirmed his belief in Pheu Thai’s democratic spirit, stating that he expects the party to vote for the MFP’s Prime Minister candidate, irrespective of the circumstances." and another article stating "Olarn said Pheu Thai would have to consider whether working with Move Forward was a good choice to pave the way for Thaksin’s return. But he doubts Pheu Thai will opt to ally with Move Forward and risk a collision with the elites."

Interesting times if Phue Thai decides to form it's own coalition which would leave MFP high and dry although winning the election and pretty well all of Bangkok at odds with Puue Thai and a military coaltion. I still can't see a PT coalition with minor military parties happening.

One thing is for certain and that is the future of Thailand is uncertain.
