Popular Post webfact Posted June 16 Popular Post Share Posted June 16 Pheu Thai’s leader, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, is stepping up to revive her party's fortunes in Bangkok after last year's crushing defeat by the Move Forward Party (MFP). Paetongtarn signed an order on Thursday to establish a panel dedicated to crafting political strategies, overseeing MPs and Bangkok Metropolitan councillors, and providing key advice. Leading this 15-member panel, she is joined by four veteran party executives acting as advisers. The battle lines were drawn on May 14, 2022, when the MFP almost entirely obliterated Pheu Thai and other parties in the race for Bangkok. The MFP clinched 32 out of 33 seats in the capital, leaving Pheu Thai with only one seat after a recount. Adding fuel to the resurgence, Paetongtarn’s father, Thaksin Shinawatra, has been actively rallying support for Pheu Thai despite parole conditions barring him from political activities. The former prime minister declared his intention to reclaim all seats in Nonthaburi, a province adjacent to Bangkok, in the upcoming elections. “We will sweep all the seats in Nonthaburi. Someone took them all but we will take all of them back,” he asserted. Last year, the MFP not only triumphed in Bangkok but also dominated Nonthaburi, securing all eight seats and leaving Pheu Thai scrambling. Nonthaburi, once a stronghold for Pheu Thai, is now a critical battleground for the party’s comeback. In a related development, an online poll revealed that more than 60% of respondents are against a contentious draft amnesty bill. Proposed by Poonsuk Poonsukcharoen of Thai Lawyers for Human Rights and seconded by 36,723 people, the bill is currently under parliamentary consideration and has sparked public debate. In other news, former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra announced that Thailand would soon return to full democracy under a Pheu Thai Party-led government, with a new people's charter sparking hope for the country's democratic future. -- 2024-06-17 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted June 17 Popular Post Share Posted June 17 I am sure she will step in the footsteps of her father. Many years ago, he promised us he will solve the traffic problem in Bangkok within 6 months. One of his exiting ideas was to have longer green intervals at the traffic lights. What a glorious idea. I am sure many people will remember the genius of that family. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
