The defection of two key figures of the Sam Mitr faction, Suriya Juangroongruangkit and Somsak Thepsutin, from the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) to the Pheu Thai Party has dealt a blow to the ruling party.
The Pheu Thai Party has recently revised its MP target, aiming to capture 310 House seats in the next polls an ambitious scale-up from the 250 seats and form a solid single-party government. The move is seen by academics as a major task and tactic to intensify the campaign and to get rid of the pro-Prayut camp.
