Opinion polls show the party led by Paetongtarn Shinawatra, youngest daughter of ousted former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, to be in the lead. But there are fears that victory for Paetongtarn could plunge Thailand back into a familiar cycle of protest and military intervention.

Thaksin, deposed by a military coup in 2014, is a polarizing political figure with powerful enemies in the Thai establishment who regarded his popularity as a threat.

Having the 36-year-old Paetongtarn as a candidate is expected to pay off handsomely for the popular opposition Pheu Thai party, who are polling so well that they are hoping for a landslide victory, with enough seats to name the prime minister.
