Former MP Theptai Senapong has voiced concerns about Thaksin Shinawatra's possible return to power. Posting on his social media platform, Theptai highlighted Thaksin's recent statements in Ubon Ratchathani, where Thaksin urged people to support the Pheu Thai Party. He promised a revival of happiness and prosperity through new policies.

 

Thaksin, now 75, hinted at a continued role, stating, "I have money, time, and strength. I will still serve the Thai people without holding a position." This, according to Theptai, underscores Thaksin's ambition to once again influence the country's governance.


Theptai suggests that Thaksin realises his daughter, Paetongtarn, might struggle to lead effectively due to her lack of experience, despite his guidance.

 

Contrary to his previous claims of stepping away from politics to care for his grandchildren, Thaksin appears to be steering political decisions and maintaining influence within the Pheu Thai Party.

Theptai's remarks imply that Thaksin intends to address Thailand's current issues, positioning himself as the necessary figure to lead the country through its challenges. Observers are now speculating whether Thaksin will manoeuvre his way back to the premiership, reported Siam Rath.

Do you not realize that Thaksin is grooming his grandchildren at the next level after his daughter?   

 

Thanksin has to be careful if the elite start to see a better route with the PP he will end up like the Dem party

He’s been running everything since he came back TIT

He always stayed.  He has been running PT since he developed the party.  That is why many airlines made a lot of money from people travelling to get their decree. 

 

I think he may be in trouble and trying to bail out a sinking ship.  The people know he is in charge. The ELlites know he is running things, but they are leaving him alone until he does something they must do.  Remember, the only other choice the elites have is to go to an election, and there is no guarantee that the PP will not get a majority with no Senate to mess things up anymore.

"The past few years"? You either have to be joking or are oblivious to Thaksin's "influence" since he fled the country.

Well sort of. But the fact is the elites hold the power. Elections do not matter. The royalist military elites control the eventual outcome of elections which is to maintain their wealth and power. They do this through their own legal apparatus AKA the CC and the EC.

Per the photo. Thai men seem to age so much worse than Thai women.

 

I think that's because they use less make up?
