Pheu Thai Firmly Denies Any Plan to Re-adopt Prayut, Backing Paetongtarn Instead

Pheu Thai Party officially dismissed rumours that it intended to nominate former Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha as its next premier candidate, labeling such talk as fake news. Instead, the party reaffirmed support for the suspended PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra, whose fate is tied to an ethics hearing on August 29 concerning a leaked audio scandal. The party noted that the audio leak involved a private call in which Paetongtarn is alleged to have criticized a Thai military officer while speaking with Cambodia’s former PM, Hun Sen. Calls are growing for the hearing to be broadcast live, to ensure transparency and maintain public trust.
