BANGKOK: Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said on Tuesday he wanted to rule until 2025, indicating for the first time that he plans to stand in the Southeast Asian kingdom's upcoming general election.

Thailand is due to go to the polls early next year and on Tuesday the main opposition Pheu Thai party — whose leaders include the daughter of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra — unveiled some of its campaign themes.
