Bangkok, Thailand – The populist Pheu Thai Party – this time under Paetongtarn Shinawatra – looks set to dominate Sunday’s election in Thailand, but crucial to its success will be whether the party can retain its appeal in its traditional heartland in the country’s north.
The party founded by Thaksin Shinawatra in 1998 as Thai Rak Thai has won the most seats at every election held in Thailand this century.
