Top Thai PM candidate gives birth two weeks before election.
TL;DR
Paetongtarn Shinawatra, a leading prime ministerial candidate in Thailand's upcoming elections, gave birth to a baby boy two weeks before the polls. Paetongtarn hopes to return to power the populist movement her father and aunt led before army coups ousted them. Despite the imminent arrival of her second child, she has been campaigning until recently. Her family's name recognition and her party's enduring popularity could bring it back to power.
