Bangkok Post | Srettha Thavisin, a prime ministerial candidate of the front-running Pheu Thai Party, insists that it will not team up in any government involving the two political parties headed by the generals behind the 2014 military coup.
The property tycoon-turned-politician sent a strong message during a campaign rally on Friday night at a school in Wang Saphung district of Loei, cheered on by 3,000 people.
Srettha said the question continues to arise about whether Pheu Thai would join with either the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) or the United Thai Nation (UTN) Party to form a coalition government after the May 14 election.
Palang Pracharath is led by Gen Prawit Wongsuwon, 77, who is also its sole candidate for prime minister. Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, the caretaker prime minister and leader of the 2014 coup, is the first prime ministerial candidate of the UTN.
