Leading opposition party Pheu Thai has promised not to sit on its laurels after an opinion poll showed Paetongtarn "Ung Ing" Shinawatra was the people’s choice for prime minister by a considerable margin.
The survey by the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida) showed the youngest daughter of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra had the support of 25.28% of respondents, followed by 13.24% for Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat. Current prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha had just 11.68%, while 18.68% said no-one is suitable for the post.
