Paetongtarn "Ung Ing" Shinawatra, a Pheu Thai Party prime ministerial candidate, said the party would not work with anyone involved in the two previous coups.
As all politicians are rolling up their sleeves for the next election, it's clear Pheu Thai is in the lead. There is speculation that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will dissolve parliament next month, probably on March 15, so that the country can head to the polls scheduled for May 7 by the Election Commission (EC).
Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the Pheu Thai Party's chief adviser on public participation and innovation, on Friday said she is ready to be the kingdom's next prime minister if given the chance.
The Democrat Party will nominate its leader Jurin Laksanawisit as the party's prime ministerial candidate at the coming general election, spokesman Ramet Rattanachaweng said on Wednesday.
