At least 30 more MPs are expected to defect to the United Thai Nation (UTN) Party to boost the chances of it winning 25 House seats, the number it needs to nominate Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha as its prime ministerial candidate, a source said.
The source said the politicians migrating from other parties would be officially unveiled at the party's headquarters in Soi Ari 5 of Phaya Thai district in Bangkok on Monday.
