His father is Lieutenant general Prayoon Pamornmontri (พลโทประยูร ภมรมนตรี), one of the members of Khana Ratsadon, which successfully staged the Siamese revolution of 1932.[1]

Political career

edit

He entered politics in 2004 and moved to Thai Rak Thai party in the same year. After a landslide victory in 2005 general election, he became Member of Parliament and the deputy Government Spokesman but on 19 September 2006 a military junta overthrew Thaksin's government in a bloodless coup while he was abroad. The CNS-appointed constitutional tribunal dissolved the Thai Rak Thai party for electoral fraud, banning TRT's executives from politics for five years.[2]

Yuranan moved to People's Power Party (PPP) and lost the 2007 general election, but leader of PPP Samak Sundaravej, became the Prime Minister. Then he became the adviser of Minister of Education Somchai Wongsawat, who was the next prime minister.

In January 2009, he moved to Pheu Thai Party and was defeated in the 15th Bangkok gubernatorial election by Sukhumbhand Paribatra.
