Play
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has not drawn any conclusions on the Pheu Thai Party campaign for the position of Bangkok governor, MP Jirayu Huangsub said on Friday.
“No conclusions have been drawn and Thaksin wants to treat the issue as confidential,” he said.
Jirayu met Thaksin in Hong Kong earlier this week to discuss the campaign strategy for the gubernatorial race, which is expected to take place early next year. Before going, he said his talks with Thaksin would focus on seeking his advice about the upcoming race for the position of Bangkok governor.
The term of incumbent Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra, who is a Democrat, will end in January.
After the meeting, Jirayu said Thaksin appeared in better spirits than when he last saw him three years previously.
He also said he might have another meeting with Thaksin in Phnom Penh.
Thaksin is scheduled to make a private visit to Cambodia from Thursday to Saturday.
