By Suttinee Yuvejwattana The popularity of Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin and his Pheu Thai Party continued to decline in the latest opinion poll amid mounting legal and economic challenges, while the opposition gained ground. Srettha’s approval rating hit a fresh low of 12.
The popularity of Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin and his Pheu Thai Party continued to decline in the latest opinion poll amid mounting legal and economic challenges, while the opposition gained ground.
The former property mogul, who took power in September after a messy general election, heads an 11-party coalition led by Pheu Thai and military-aligned conservative groups. A poll earlier this month showed most Thais are unhappy with the government’s performance, and it has struggled to address issues such as a rising cost of living, highest household debt in Southeast Asia and sluggish economic growth.
Pita Limjaroenrat of the opposition Move Forward Party extended his lead as the top choice for prime minister in the new poll with a 45.5 percent rating. The option of a yet-to-be-identified appropriate person reached a 20.55 percent score, Nida said.
