Thaksin’s son-in-law says he has not thought about politics yet
Thaksin’s son-in-law, Nuttaphong Kunakornwong, denies political aspirations, saying he hasn’t considered entering politics despite speculation.
Nuttaphong Kunakornwong, son-in-law of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, said on Thursday that he has not yet considered entering politics, despite speculation that he could become a prime ministerial candidate for the Pheu Thai Party.
“I have not given it a thought,” Nuttaphong replied when reporters pressed him for an answer regarding his potential political aspirations.
It has been widely speculated that Nuttaphong, the husband of Pintongta Shinawatra, Thaksin’s second child, could be nominated as Pheu Thai’s PM candidate for the next general election.
Nuttaphong was approached by reporters to clarify the speculation when he and his wife visited Thaksin at the Klong Prem Central Prison on Thursday.
Initially, he simply smiled at reporters when asked to comment on the speculation.
When pressed again on whether he was interested in politics, he gave a short reply, stating that he had not thought about it.
Nuttaphong is the Chief Executive Officer, Director, and Member of the Executive Committee at SC Asset Corporation PLC and is known for overseeing several property businesses within the Shinawatra family.
