"Pheu Thai politicians"

Two several-term MPs of the Pheu Thai Party suffered defeat to candidates from the Future Forward and Phalang Pracharat parties in Khon Kaen in Sunday’s general election.

The Election Commission (EC) secretary-general has said that the agency was monitoring reports that some Pheu Thai politicians will travel to Singapore to meet fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra.

A bribery case will proceed against former Pheu Thai Party politicians Watana Muangsook and Arisman Pongruangrong after the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders on Friday accepted lawsuits for trial.

The Election Commission (EC) is investigating former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s recent phone call to a group of Pheu Thai politicians, which has been viewed by critics as anillegal intervention in the party’s internal affairs.

Eight key figures from the Pheu Thai Party on Monday met police as summoned on criminal charges in connection with their press conference held ahead of the fourth anniversary of the 2014 coup.

THAKSIN SHINAWATRA, who is widely regarded as the Pheu Thai Party’s patriarch, and its politicians seem to be risking their political lives by playing with a law that prohibits outside influence on political parties.

Pheu Thai politicians remain split as to whether Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan should become the next party leader.

A group of Pheu Thai politicians have declared their “lifelong loyalty” to the party, amid speculation that new political parties are wooing election candidates from established parties.
