It looks like there will be two prime ministers. If they don't tread carefully, they will have problems governing the country. "The leader of Thailand's main opposition party" Forward Party "Chaitaiwa said. "My warning to the present is that the emergence of a dual prime minister must not be allowed. This situation will cause problems for Saita. ”。

Chaitaiwa said Thaksin will have the right to make political comments after his release on parole on February 18, but doing so could embarrass the Pheu Thai leadership.

There will be confusion as to who is the real prime minister and who has the final say. The Pheu Thai Party needs to be cautious about this. The leader of the opposition said.

Thaksin Shinawatra is considered a veteran of the Pheu Thai Party, and although he did not hold an executive position, he is known to retain influence over the ruling party.

His youngest daughter, Betong Dan, is the current leader of the Pheu Thai Party. In May last year, when the Pheu Thai Party participated, she was nominated as one of three candidates for prime minister.

Thaksin was sentenced in absentia to eight years in prison by Prayut** by the Supreme Court during Prayut** for corruption during his tenure as prime minister from 2001 to 2006, but Thaksin received a royal pardon shortly after returning to Thailand last year, reducing his sentence to one year.

According to the Thai Correctional Services Agency's rules on granting parole to prisoners aged 70 and over or with serious illnesses, he is expected to be released on parole this weekend after serving at least a third of his sentence or six months, whichever is longer.

The 74-year-old former prime minister returned to Thailand on August 22 on a private jet, ending 15 years of exile abroad. Less than 24 hours after arriving in Thai territory, he was taken from the Bangkok remand prison to the General Police Hospital due to health problems. He has lived there ever since.

His prolonged hospitalization** raised suspicions about the seriousness of his condition, as well as allegations that he was being treated as a VIP by the authorities. Some even suspect that Thaksin is long out of the hospital.

Phuktham Wechayachai, a key figure in Thailand's Pheu Thai Party who serves as Thailand's deputy prime minister and commerce minister, dismissed speculation on Thursday that Thaksin may intervene in ** affairs. He said that he would not specifically listen to Thaksin, but would listen to all the voices of the public, citing the opinion on the controversial digital wallet plan as an example. "We try to listen to objections as much as possible. Be prepared to listen to any comments directed at us. He said.

Asked if Thaksin could give advice to **, Putham said that as an experienced former prime minister, he could make comments that would benefit the country. "But don't focus on the question of whether he's going to advise or set any agenda for **," he added.

In September last year, Prime Minister Saitata said in an interview with foreign media in New York that Thaksin would seek advice after his release. Saita later denied reports that Thaksin would be appointed as an adviser to the prime minister, saying his remarks had been misinterpreted.

Putham also dismissed speculation that Thaksin's parole could lead to the first major cabinet reshuffle.

Deputy Prime Minister Putham said he had not heard of any plans to change the cabinet line-up, adding that it was that the prime minister did have the power to do so when there was a serious problem. "I haven't heard anything from the Prime Minister about it."

Meanwhile, Thaksin's daughter, Thaksin Peudan, said Thaksin's family was waiting for Thaksin's release from prison this Sunday at Ban Chan Songla, the Shinawatra family mansion in Bangkok.

Everyone will be there to welcome him," said Pedondan, who is writing home cards for him by his grandchildren.

According to CSD regulations, no other family members are expected to remain at the mansion with Thaksin.
