Move over, rivals! Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has stormed ahead in the political popularity race, clinching the top spot in a nationwide survey that crowned her Politician of the Year 2024.

 

The North Bangkok Poll, conducted by North Bangkok University between December 10 and 15, asked 1,500 respondents from across Thailand a simple but telling question: “Who do you think deserves to be honoured as the Politician of the Year 2024?” The results were announced today by Associate Professor Sanit Sirivisithkul, head of the university’s Public Opinion Survey Centre.

 

PM Paetongtarn left her competition in the dust with an impressive 15.4% of the vote, showcasing her broad appeal and strong public support. Trailing behind was Deputy PM Phumtham Wechayachai with 7.8%, and Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit at 7.5%. The rest of the list featured familiar faces such as People’s Party deputy leader Sirikanya Tansakul (7.3%) and Bangkok MP Rukchanok Srinork (6.8%), but none came close to Paetongtarn’s landslide.

 

 

The survey highlighted the public’s admiration for the Thai premier’s leadership during a challenging year.

 

“Her policies and charisma have clearly resonated with voters,” remarked Sanit, adding that the poll reflects “a clear signal of who the public feels has truly delivered.”

 

Other notable names in the rankings include Rangsiman Rome (5.3%), Anutin Charnvirakul (4.1%), and veteran politician Prawit Wongsuwan, whose 1.3% suggested a significant dip in his influence, reported The Nation.

Must be a major contender for this year's "joke of the year 2024"

Where is the smiling donkey in all this? 😂

"... 1,500 respondents from across Thailand a simple but telling question: “Who do you think deserves to be honoured as the Politician of the Year 2024?”  ... PM Paetongtarn left her competition in the dust with an impressive 15.4% of the vote ..."  Only 1,500 respondents and she received 15.4% of the vote?  Certainly not vox populi and certainly not a majority.

They spin such a poor result into a glorious victory 555

[jippytum]

An indication of the low bar Thai politicians have to aspire too. 

A billionair fixer as your Father is a plus.

Thaksin organised the poll...

 

It was a choice between her or Bashar Assad.

Do another poll with this question:

"Do you think politicians deserve to be honored?"

Should have been Pita of course

Well how long has she been in office I mean how long did the father decided that she should be the Prime Minister seems like a few months and she’s the politician of the year she hasn’t even been in office a year TIT

I doubt many Thais could actually name another serving politician other than Anutin, the legal drug pusher and Dusty Miller.

 

 

So not a surprise result.
