Paetongtarn is the youngest daughter of Pheu Thai patriarch Thaksin Shinawatra.
“She can influence others’ decisions and has high leadership qualities,” Srettha said.
“So, I believe Paetongtarn is fully suitable to lead Pheu Thai. But it has yet to be seen which persons will be nominated for the post during the assembly on October 27.”
On Friday, Paetongtarn responded with a quick “yes” when reporters asked if she would be ready to lead the party.
