Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan is still a favourite choice for prime minister for northeastern MPs of the Pheu Thai Party, but she says no. She said she could help Pheu Thai and its anti-regime alliance in other capacities. Her statement followed a move by northeastern MPs inside the party who insisted on proposing her to compete for the top administrative job. Pheu Thai won most of its seats in the Northeast in the March 24 election. Allowing the candidates of the seven parties in the alliance to compete among themselves will undercut the votes and the bloc's chance of victory.
