Thamanat: Under increasing pressure
-
Deputy Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister Capt Thamanat Prompow is feeling the heat with analysts saying the campaign against him is being driven not only by “grey money” allegations, but also by competition for House seats in the Klatham Party's stronghold in the upcoming election.
The Klatham Party, under the guidance of Capt Thamanat, who serves as its chief adviser, holds a significant number of constituency seats, particularly in the North. The Pheu Thai Party's waning support has seen many defections to Klatham.
However, recent allegations linking Klatham figures to online gambling have apparently seen other prospective defectors hesitate and have undermined the party's popular appeal.
Targeting Capt Thamanat, who has a questionable background, can weaken the Klatham Party, according to observers.
