Recommended Posts

From Thai PBS World

Most respondents to an opinion survey, conducted by King Prajadhipok’s Institute (KPI), say they will vote for the Move Forward party and want the party’s former leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, to be Thailand’s next prime minister.

KPI, in cooperation with the Office for the Promotion of People’s Politics and the Centre for the Development of People’s Politics, conducted an opinion survey on political parties and potential prime ministers one year after last year’s May 14th general election. 1,620 people across the country were interviewed.

One of the questions asked was: “If there is an election in the next couple of days, from which parties would you elect constituency MPs?

The poll shows 35.7% of the respondents say they will vote for candidates from the Move Forward party, 18.1% say the Pheu Thai party, 11.2% the Bhumjaithai party, 9.2% from United Thai Nation party, 7.8% from Palang Pracharath party, 5% from the Democrat party, 1.6% from the Chart Thai Pattana party and 1.2% from the Prachachart party. 10.2% were undecided.

The next question was: “From which parties would you want to elect party-list MPs?  

The poll shows 44.9% say they will vote for Move Forward candidates, 20.2% for Pheu Thai candidates, 10.9% for United Thai Nation candidates, 3.5% for Bhumjaithai candidates, 3% for Democrat candidates, 1.3% for Prachachart candidates and 0.7% for Chart Thai Pattana candidates.

Based on these responses, combining the election of constituency and party-list MPs, the Move Forward party would win 208 seats in the House, followed by 105 for Pheu Thai, 61 for Bhumjaithai, 34 for United Thai Nation, 30 for Palang Pracharath, 22 seats for the Democrats, 10 for Chart Thai Pattana and 9 for Prachachart.

When asked who they want to be the next prime minister, the poll shows 46.9% said Pita, followed by 17.7% for General Prayut Chan-o-cha, 10.5% for Pheu Thai leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra, 8.7% for Srettha Thavisin, 3.3% for Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul, 1.7% for Jurin Laksanawisit of Democrat party and 0.4% for General Prawit Wongsuwan, leader of Palang Pracharath party.
