De Facto Klatham boss Thammanat Prompao has been confirmed as the top contender for prime minister in the February 8 election, according to Klatham leader Naruemon Pinyosinwat. Thammanat, currently the acting deputy prime minister and acting agriculture minister, plans to run despite facing allegations of connections with international money-laundering suspects, including Benjamin Mauerberger. Naruemon, who is acting education minister, did not reveal if she might be Thammanat’s running mate or if other candidates will join him on the Klatham ticket.

 

Thammanat is expected to attract many former MPs to join Klatham for re-election under its banner, including ex-Democrat MPs led by Chalermchai Sri-on. These defections are mostly anticipated in southern constituencies. Thammanat predicts that Klatham will secure around 80 MP seats, primarily in northern and southern regions.

 

Key Takeaways

 

  • Thammanat Prompao confirmed as Klatham’s top PM contender for 2025.
  • Pheu Thai and the People’s Party announce their candidates as the election heats up.
  • Political party movements continue with MPs switching allegiances ahead of the poll.
