The former Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) secretary-general, Capt Thamanat Prompow, is to return to the ruling party and will be in charge of its election preparations in the North, according to deputy leader Wirach Ratanasate.
Capt Thamanat has for some time been tipped to rejoin the PPRP's ranks. He and several other MPs defected to the Setthakij Thai Party last year after being expelled from the PPRP. He and his colleagues went on to assume the party leadership before quitting last October.
