Anutin Charnvirakul, leader and prime ministerial candidate of the Bhumjaithai Party, or Gen Prawit, may benefit from this situation. The "uncles" refer to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, the former UTN chief adviser and its prime ministerial candidate, and Gen Prawit. If the so-called uncle parties are part of the Pheu Thai-led government, Pheu Thai will lose credibility, he said.
