Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the youngest daughter of former prime minister Thaksin, says she is unperturbed by the return of key figures from the Sang Anakhot Thai Party (SATP) to the ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), saying it was a mere political game.
“Those who are joining the ruling party are old comrades, not new faces, because they used to be with Palang Pracharath. But bringing in certain political groups clearly reflects that Gen Prawit has more charisma and is more accepted than Gen Prayut (Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha),” she said, referring to PPRP leader and deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon.
