"prime ministerial candidate"

Kla Party’s leader Korn Chatikavanij will be its prime ministerial candidate at the next general election, spokesman Sanyakorn Singhaweratham said on Thursday, denying media reports that the party would support someone from outside its nomination list to become the next PM.

THE PRO-JUNTA Palang Pracharat Party “will most definitely” nominate General Prayut Chan-o-cha as its first prime ministerial candidate for the next election, a key party figure said yesterday.

The law prohibits Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha from campaigning for any political party in the run-up to the election, including a party that nominates him to be the next head of government, his deputy, Wissanu Krea-ngam, said on Sunday.
