Comments made after the PAO surveys didn’t go as planned

Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra claimed that he may have lost his “political magic,” that he is very old, and that some younger people does not recognize his accomplishments from the history.

He did, however, claim that he backed Pheu Thai’s ability to win at least 200 House votes in the 2027 general election.

Some political analysts have questioned whether Thaksin’s political leadership was still strong after the ruling Pheu Thai Party’s de facto leader, Thaksin, had anticipated that the party’s de facto leader would not have won as many provinces in the provincial administration organization ( PAO ) elections on February 1.

In addition, Thaksin ran for Pheu Thai individuals in many regions ‘ elections.

While the Bhumjaithai Party, a member of the coalition government, performed better than expected in the primaries, Pheu Thai and Thaksin appeared to have lost control of some districts in the North and Northeast, which were once group strongholds.

Pheu Thai individuals secured the administration of 10 municipal operational companies, while prospects affiliated with the party won six, followed by Bhumjaithai, which took 14.

Despite fielding prospects in 17, the People’s Party just managed to win one province, Lamphun.

Asked whether he may have lost “his political magic”, Thaksin said:” I don’t have any]political ] magic. I am 76. Most individuals aged below 40 could remember my successes”, Thaksin said.

” But they will start to understand eventually. Phuket remained to win some seats. However, there were a dozen regions where the results weren’t what we had anticipated. But nevertheless, we did not miss the goal by too much”, Thaksin said.

Asked if Pheu Thai would be able to establish a single-party government, Thaksin said,” We don’t want to become a single-party government. It is not great if we don’t own friends. We need companions. But too many of them may produce a headache”.

But, Stithorn Thananithichot, director of the Office of Innovation for Democracy at King Prajadhipok’s Institute, said that Pheu Thai, which had the support of Thaksin, was still difficult to contend with in the PAO elections, especially in the Northeast.

Additionally, just elected Pheu Thai PAO chiefs are expected to receive the government’s total support, according to Mr. Stithorn, to enable them to boost the local economy.

According to Mr. Stithorn,” the ten counties won by Pheu Thai in the PAO votes remain a significant benefit for the ruling gathering.”

According to spectators, political parties view the elections as an opportunity to form partnerships with regional political clans and expand their aid bases for the 2027 general election.

Following its election defeat to the now-dissolved Move Forward Party ( MFP), Mr. Stithorn stated that it will still be difficult for Pheu Thai to win back a political foothold in Chiang Mai in the upcoming general election.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra stated this week that she had” Foreign heart in her” and that she had privately looked into safety protocols in place to ensure the protection of Chinese citizens. She was trying to ease security issues among Chinese tourists visiting Thailand.

Since a small Foreign actor was rescued from a scam center in Myanmar last month, security in Thailand has officially become a hot topic of conversation among Foreign nationals, who are by far the largest group of foreign tourists there.

According to Ms. Paetongtarn, who spoke to the state-run China Daily in Beijing on Thursday,” Thai people usually come to China and feel at home, and I hope Chinese people also come to Thailand and feel at home.”

Assuring the Taiwanese people while visiting her country was a major concern in addition to strengthening cooperation with China on infrastructure, electric cars, and the modern economy.

The Thai authorities announced one morning before she arrived in Beijing that it would suspend power supply to some of Myanmar’s border regions to stop the growth of shady scams that have ensnared a large number of people of various nationalities.

Xi Jinping, the leader of China, praised Thailand’s efforts to stop international crimes by limiting access to water and power in connection with organized crime.

” You know, the prime minister of Thailand has Foreign heart in her”, said Ms Paetongtarn. ” I can assure you that Chinese citizens will be very healthy.”

Due to Thailand’s close relationships with both the United States and China, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra claimed that Ms. Paetongtarn’s visit to China is meant to deepen diplomatic ties and foster better understanding.

He claimed that the debate with China went easily, particularly when it came to working together to stop call center fraud, which are known to have their headquarters in Myanmar’s border towns.

If the call-centre groups are eradicated, Thailand is continue supplying electricity to the border cities, he said, referring to the president’s decision to cut energy and internet links to five border regions on Wednesday.

The power supply was cut off in five areas: the Following Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge- Myawaddy, Ban Huay Muang-Myawaddy, Three Pagodas-Payathongzu, Ban Mueang Daeng-Tachileik, and the First Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge-Tachileik.

Thaksin added that since it is believed that these groups may be relocating to Cambodia, it is also necessary to seek Phnom Penh’s assistance in order to eliminate them.

In response to the power outage, Myanmar’s second Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge immigration station was closed, according to Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai.

He claimed that the estimate was made known to the authorities and to its security personnel.
