On Wednesday, Paetongtarn Shinawatra praised her young son as her” key power” and declared that she was eager to rejoin the Pheu Thai Party’s election system.

She told reporters at Praram 9 Hospital in Bangkok, where she gave birth to a boy on Monday, that she was” very ready to return to the system.” In the May 14 vote, she said,” We need to make the landslide happen for Pheu Thai.”

In studies of voters’ preferred choice of chief minister, Thaksin Shinawatra’s 36-year-old sister has placed first or second, and Pheu Thai, the most recent iteration of the organization started by her uncle, is in the lead in most opinion surveys.

This is a gift for my family because, in her words to the media,” I believe that good things come with infants.”

” My kids are my hidden potential to work and live life.”

Ms. Paetongtarn, who was severely female, was a near-constant position at campaign rallies in the sweltering heat up until just one month before giving birth.

The initial introduction is for Ms. Paetongtarn and her father Pitaka Suksawat, a commercial aircraft, and is given the name” Thasin” in honor of her father. The few had a child when they got married in March 2019.

She talked about how she felt when she delivered him securely after his heart price dropped while he was in labor.

” Once I heard his cries, I started crying.” I was relieved that he was secure. I’m glad he’s stable, she said.

The campaign news was less positive, though, as the most recent National Institute of Development Administration ( Nida ) poll revealed Ms. Paetongtarn trailing Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat among the front-runners for prime minister for the first time.

Pita was the choice of 35.4 % of determined voters, compared to 29.2 % for Pheu Thai’s first prime ministerial candidate, according to a nationwide survey of 2,500 people.

Pheu Thai still leads Move Forward in party preferences by 38 % to 34 %, but the gap is closing.

When asked about a Move Forward ally, Ms. Paetongtarn responded that Pheu Thai did meet” with events that support our guidelines” and reiterated that she would not support rivals with military support.

Pheu Thai won the majority of votes in the most recent election in 2019, but to retain power, coup leader Prayut Chan-o-Cha put together a coalition with the backing of 249 senators who had been appointed by the war.

Thaksin, who left Thailand in 2008 before receiving a sentence for corruption charges he claims are politically motivated, may now return to the country, according to rumors raised by the Shinawatra family’s most recent component.

According to Ms. Paetongtarn, her 73-year-old parents wants to go back to Thailand but avoids elections once more.

He frequently expresses a desire to raise his children at home. She claimed that he never expressed a desire to go back home and become prime minister.
