There are reports from the Pheu Thai Party suggesting that Nuttaphong Kunakornwong, husband of Pintongta Shinawatra, may be considered as the next prime ministerial candidate. This move is seen as an attempt by Pheu Thai to find a new leader from the Shinawatra family to continue the legacy and maintain political power.

Thaksin’s son-in-law, Nuttaphong Kunakornwong, denies political aspirations, saying he hasn’t considered entering politics despite speculation.
