PheuaThaiRally

01 JULY 2011 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA, leader of the Pheua Thai party, greets voters at the last Pheua Thai rally of the year in Bangkok Friday. Thailand's divisive election campaign drew to a close Friday in Bangkok. Most of the parties had large rallies in an effort to sway last minute undecided voters. Pheua Thai, the party of ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra held a massive rally in Rajamakala Stadium (also called Ramkamhaeng Stadium) to close out their campaign. A monsoon thunderstorm didn't keep people away from the event. Most Thai public opinion polls show Pheua Thai with a healthy lead over their arch rivals (and incumbent party in power) the Democrats. Thaksin's youngest sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, is running for Prime Minister under the Pheua Thai banner. If elected, she will be Thailand's first female Prime Minister. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
