Prasop Budsarakham, a prospective candidate from Udon Thani for the December 23 general election, said he would make posters with Thaksin's image alongside his because people still loved the deposed premier.

"I want to tell people that I am still with him [Thaksin], unlike some former [Udon Thani] MPs who quit Thai Rak Thai to join other parties but claim they still love Thaksin," he said.

The PPP plans to hold 15 rallies in the Northeast.

Noppadon Pattama, party deputy secretary-general, said Thaksin would become a PPP adviser after the election results, not during the campaigning.

He said the party would file charges against candidates of other parties who use photos of Thaksin in their campaigning because it would be a violation of copyright.

EC member Prapun Naigowit said on Wednesday the party could put Thaksin in an advisory position, but many viewed his statement as a personal opinion and not an official ruling.
