MOST PEOPLE WOULD STILL prefer former Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat as the most popular politician for prime minister, says the latest NIDA Poll today (Mar 24).

According to the NIDA Poll recently conducted for this year’s first quarter from among a total of 2,000 people from all walks of life nationwide, 42% of the respondents say they would prefer Pita for prime minister, compared to 20% of the respondents who say they could not as yet find “a very suitable person” to fit in the top post of the executive branch.

The poll has found 17% of the respondents say they would prefer Pheu Thai-backed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin retaining his elected premiership whilst 6% say they would pick Pheu Thai leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict on parole Thaksin Shinawatra, and 3% say they would opt for Ruam Thai Sang Chart leader Pirapan Salirathvipark for head of government.

Meanwhile, the NIDA Poll recently conducted for this year’s first quarter has found 48% of the respondents say they would vote for the opposition Move Forward if they went to the polls today, compared to 22% who say they would pick Thaksin’s camp whilst 5% say they would prefer the Ruam Thai Sang Chart under de facto party boss/former prime minister/now privy councillor Prayut Chan-o-cha and 3% say they would opt for the Palang Pracharath led by former deputy prime minister Prawit Wongsuwan.
