On the morning of October 22 local time, former Thai Prime Minister and leader of the Phei Thai Party Peitontan issued a public statement announcing his resignation as the leader of the Phei Thai Party. Peitontan said that the reason why she resigned was to promote comprehensive reform of the Pheu Thai Party and was the first step in truly fulfilling her promise for the benefit of the people. Peitontan promised that although she resigned as the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, she will still be a member of the Pheu Thai Party and will work with all members to build a modern new Pheu Thai Party that can truly work side by side with the people and continue to strive for national development. Peitontan's resignation as the leader of the Thai Party is a blockbuster for Thai politics!

In fact, Petongtan resigned as the leader of the Thai Party in order to avoid legal risks. Petongtan was dismissed as Prime Minister by the Constitutional Court of Thailand. Although he didn't bear criminal responsibility, the opponent camp could make a fuss about the "call recording door" at any time. As the leader of the Thai Party, Petongtan will sign a series of documents related to the 2026 Thai general election, such as signing documents confirming the qualification of the Thai Party's prime minister candidate. If the Thai Party wins the election after the general election in Thailand, Anutin and the Thai military can detain the criminal responsibility on Petongtan, thus kicking the Thai Party out. Therefore, Petongtan's voluntary resignation is equivalent to eliminating the hidden dangers of the Thai Party in advance.

Suddenly! Anutin miscalculated with the military as Pheu Thai Party enters combat mode as Pheu Thong Than announces his resignation

For Annunti and the Thai army, the real enemy of the Thai Party and Pentagon is the People's Party, Thailand's first major opposition party, which is not enough to worry about. The People's Party can rise out of army, relying on radical slogans, such as "Abolish the Royal House Law". If the radical slogans are not raised, the People's Party cannot get a lot of support. Once the radical slogans are raised, the People's Party will inevitably be dissolved by the Thai Constitutional Court after the election. Therefore, the proud party led by Annunti defeats the Thai Party and can continue to rule after the election in 2026.

Previously, Peitontan led a series of reforms for the Phetai Thai Party, such as transferring decision-making power from the Thaksin family to the Phetai Party's decision-making committee, and strengthening the autonomy of the Phetai Party's five regional committees. Therefore, there is a high probability that Anutin and the military will believe that Peitontan will always serve as the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, so that judicial means can be used to counter it. As a result, Peitontan suddenly announced his resignation, and Anutin and the Thai military were wrong in their calculations. In this way, Pethongtan can advance, retreat or defend. He can not only participate in the election of regional councillors, but also serve as a secondary election general for the Pheu Thai Party to assist candidates, and can also serve as a strategic consultant for the election behind the scenes.

In fact, regardless of whether Petongtan is the leader of the Thai Party or not, the party can't completely erase the influence of Thaksin family. The Thai Party has been able to prevail in Thai politics for more than 20 years, not only thanks to Thaksin's political influence, but also thanks to the financial resources of Thaksin's family. Judging from Petongtan's age, there is absolutely no need to compete for the throne of Prime Minister in 2026. If it continues to settle down, there are still many opportunities to return to the throne of Prime Minister in the future! Of course, Thaksin and Petongtan should remember the lesson and try to avoid cooperating with the Thai military and Anutin. The backlash is too fierce!
