‘Tipped’ Treenuch backs Prawit

"As of now, Gen Prawit remains the party leader and continues to perform his duties as usual," she told the media yesterday.

The speculation intensified after a string of defections from the PPRP, including former secretary-general Santi Promphat, who resigned from the party and joined the ruling Bhumjaithai Party along with his son, Public Health Minister Pattana Promphat. Their departure dealt another major blow to the PPRP, which now has only seven MPs left.
