Senator Wanchai Sornsiri's negative remarks about Paetongtarn "Ung-Ing" Shinawatra of the Pheu Thai Party -- who is expected to be nominated as the party's prime ministerial candidate in the upcoming election -- have drawn criticism from his fellow senators, while the main opposition party has shrugged off his opinions.
The senator had said in a recent Facebook post that he won't vote for Ms Paetongtarn to be the next prime minister, even if Pheu Thai wins a landslide victory.
