Thaksin's sister leader in Thai election polls

June 26, 2011

A week before the Thai parliamentary elections, the opinion polls show a clear winner: Pheu Thai. This at the expense of the current government of Prime Minister Abhisit.

The Pheu Thai party is led by Yingluck Shinawatra, sister of deposed former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

The question is how the army will react to a possible election victory for Pheu Thai. The Thai army is responsible for 18 coups, most recently in 2006. In the last coup, Thaksin was deposed and later convicted of corruption and abuse of power.

Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay followed Yingluck in Khon Kaen a province in the northeast of Thailand.
