Thaksin Rules Out Return to Thailand's Leadership
The Straits Times
|January 07, 2025
Thailand's former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has declared he is not returning to the premiership and will not seek to do so.
-
Instead, he will focus on supporting the political career of his daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, and helping to improve living standards for Thais, including a pledge to reduce electricity costs to 3.70 baht (15 Singapore cents) per unit in 2025.
Speaking at a local campaign rally for Ms Salakjit Tiyapairat, who is running for president of the Chiang Rai Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO) under the Pheu Thai party banner, Mr Thaksin addressed the nation's substantial public debt.
The ruling party has requested a two-year timeframe to tackle the mounting national debt crisis.
