Young leader eyes premiershipNatthaphong: Entered parliament as a Bangkok MP in 2019Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, the country's youngest opposition leader, has declared his readiness to become prime minister, positioning his People's Party as a vehicle for national transformation. His parliamentary career began in 2019, when he was elected as a Bangkok MP under the now-dissolved Future Forward Party. He later won a party-list seat in the 2023 election with the Move Forward Party. Either the People's Party forms the government, or we return to the old-style coalition politics we have seen before." Comparisons with former Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat are inevitable, but Mr Nattacha rejects the notion of replacement.
