BANGKOK (Reuters) - Most Thais disagree with the leading plan for a coalition government including military-backed groups, an opinion poll showed on Sunday, two days ahead of a parliamentary vote aiming to end a three-month political stalemate.
About 64% of 1,310 respondents disagreed or totally disagreed with the idea of the Pheu Thai party forming a"special government" with military-backed rivals, according to the survey by the National Institute of Development Administration.
The second-place Pheu Thai, founded by the family of self-exiled billionaire former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, this month took over efforts to form a government. Also on Tuesday, Thaksin is set to return to Thailand, despite facing a jail sentence, his daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, said on Saturday.
