Is Pheu Thai’s “breakup” for real this time?

23 Sept 03:32 Key points summarised by AI

The formation of the “CARE” group, comprising key Thaksin loyalists, signals a likely split from Pheu Thai, driven by discontent with current leadership and internal power struggles, particularly involving Sudarat Keyuraphan.
Pheu Thai faces internal rifts, with members criticizing CARE’s negative impact and feeling under-appreciated, intensifying speculation that Shinawatra financial backing could shift to a new party.
Further complicating the situation, rumors suggest a second potential defection involving Sudarat Keyuraphan, indicating a deeper fragmentation within Pheu Thai and the broader opposition.
While a breakup appears probable, its true impact will depend on the flow of Shinawatra funds; a shift would solidify a new political force, though the overarching ideological divide in Thai politics is expected to persist.
