The future of the Pheu Thai Party and the Shinawatra family is at stake as they strive to avoid repeating past mistakes and potential exile from Thailand.
After several political upheavals, Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been elected as Thailand's 31st prime minister. The political landscape remains unsettled following the Constitutional Court's ruling to dissolve the Move Forward Party, leading to a rebranding as the People's Party.
Recently, the Constitutional Court ordered Srettha Thavisin to step down as prime minister due to ethical violations, prompting further legal challenges. Srettha faces additional scrutiny from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), reported Daily News.
These developments have led to significant shifts in the government, with Thaksin Shinawatra, the influential figure behind Pheu Thai, calling for a meeting with coalition partners. Thaksin announced the cancellation of the 10,000-baht digital wallet scheme, Pheu Thai's flagship policy, due to economic concerns.
With Paetongtarn now in power, attention shifts to forming a new Cabinet and potential reshuffles within key parties like Palang Pracharath and Ruam Thai Sang Chart. The upcoming policy announcement on August 28th will set the stage for Paetongtarn's administration.
Paetongtarn now faces the challenge of leading the country, guided by her father, Thaksin. The 2026 general election will be crucial, with the newly formed People's Party emerging as a major competitor.
Paetongtarn, now aligned with conservatives, must find a way to counter the "Orange Camp" representing younger voters.
