Thai PM Anutin's support declines as election looms

The Straits Times

December 15, 2025

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's popularity has dropped further behind the leader of an opposition party, an opinion poll shows, with an election less than two months away.

Support for both Mr Anutin and People's Party head Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut has declined, according to a Dec 4 to 12 National Institute of Development Administration survey.

Some 12.32 per cent of respondents supported the Prime Minister in the latest poll, while 17.2 per cent backed the opposition leader. That compares with 20.44 per cent for Mr Anutin and 22.8 per cent for Mr Natthaphong in the institute's quarterly poll in September.

The number of Thais who said they did not believe there were any suitable candidates for prime minister jumped to 40.6 per cent from 27.28 per cent.

The latest survey was mainly conducted after the country was hit by floods in November, and before Mr Anutin dissolved Parliament last week.
