Thaksin’s Son-in-Law Considered as Pheu Thai’s PM Candidate

The Pheu Thai Party is reportedly floating Nuttaphong Kunakornwong, Thaksin Shinawatra’s son-in-law, as a potential prime minister contender. While he has strong business credentials and familial ties, he does not have direct political experience. The speculation may be a strategic move by Pheu Thai to test how the public reacts to a new face from the Thaksin circle. Nuttaphong has publicly denied having ambitions to run for the position. This case shows Pheu Thai’s balancing act of leveraging name recognition while managing internal and public expectations ahead of elections.
