Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the party’s leader, has taken on a new crucial position by chairing a screen that will try to revive its fortunes in Bangkok, which was largely wiped out by Move Forward’s social wrangle in the election of last year.

On Thursday, Ms. Paetongtarn signed an order to form a screen to map out social approaches for MPs and Bangkok Metropolitan ministers, track their performance and provide them with recommendations.

She is in charge of the 15-member screen, which also has four seasoned gathering executives as advisors.

Move Forward swept Pheu Thai and other political parties out of the Thai vote in the battle for Bangkok on May 14 last year. It won 32 of the city’s 33 chairs, and nearly made a fresh push before a vote tell gave Pheu Thai the last desk.

Paetongtarn’s parents, Thaksin, has also been boldly campaigning for the social restoration of Pheu Thai, despite offense situations that prohibit him from engaging in political action.

The former prime minister made a powerful statement on Wednesday to win back every seat in Nonthaburi, the city that is next to Bangkok, in the upcoming election.

” We will blow all the chairs in Nonthaburi. People took them all but we will get all of them back”, he declared at a birthday celebration for the 79- yr- ancient Nonthaburi mayor Somnuek Thantadechakul, amid cheers from his supporters.

Move Forward won the election last year in Nonthaburi by a flood, leaving all eight seats in the dust and leaving other events in the dust. Nonthaburi was again Pheu Thai’s social capital.
