Thaksin’s pledge to return home comes days before Thailand’s general election on Sunday, in which his youngest daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, is a front-runner to wrest the premiership from the military

Thaksin said he will enter the legal process upon his return with the country still being led by Prayuth’s caretaker government. The former premier faces jail term for a corruption conviction but the Shinawatras say the persecution was politically-motivated. “Don’t worry that I’ll be a burden for Pheu Thai Party,” Thaksin wrote in a follow-up tweet that also alluded his loyalty to the monarchy. “It’s all my own decision for the love and bond I have for my family, homeland, and our master.”
On May 1, Paetongtarn gave birth to a baby boy in the midst of an election campaign that has seen Pheu Thai amass a solid lead in some opinion polls against ex-generals seeking to extend nearly a decade of army-backed rule. Although the vote is set for May 14, it may be weeks or months before a prime minister is elected as the military-appointed 250-member Senate will vote along with the lower house of parliament to decide who gets the top job.
