BANGKOK, Dec 26 — The youngest daughter of billionaire former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra remains Thailand’s top choice to become its next leader, according to an opinion poll, with more than double the score of incumbent and nearest rival Prayut Chan-o-cha.

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, 36, whose father Thaksin and aunt Yingluck both led popularly elected governments toppled in coups, was the top choice for 34% of respondents in a survey by the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA).


Paetongtarn’s support rose sharply from 21.6% from a September poll, when the majority surveyed were undecided. NIDA polled 2,000 voting-age people between Dec. 17 and Dec. 22.

Thailand must hold an election by May next year, according to its election commission, but no date has yet been set.

My thai-chinese friends and their families in BKK, although not elites but wealthy, hate thaksin and his family.

Thats because thaksin used umno tactic of bribing the rural voters.
It was under thaksin that rekindled malay separstist movement in southetr thsiland. Before that, it was peaceful since 1990's under a peace initiative.

Thats probably because thaksin hails from chiang mai.
