BANGKOK – Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has gained ground on front runner Paetongtarn Shinawatra in a new survey on Thailand’s top choice for premier, which showed the former coup leader was the most popular choice in the capital Bangkok.
With an election due by May, the survey will be a boost for former army chief Prayut, 68, who garnered less than half of the support of Ms Paetongtarn, 36, in polls since September by the National Institute of Development Administration. Ms Paetongtarn was the choice of 29.9 per cent of Thais outside of Bangkok, compared with Mr Prayut on 24.3 per cent.
Ms Paetongtarn’s Pheu Thai party and its previous incarnations have won every election in the past two decades, drawing their main electoral strength from the populous, largely rural northeast of the country. But three of their governments have been removed from office, by military coups and court rulings.
