Somchai was a deputy prime minister and education minister in the Cabinet of Samak Sundaravej, who was forced to resign last week for violating a conflict-of-interest law. He is also married to Thaksin's sister, a political liability in the eyes of anti-government protesters who accuse Thaksin and Samak of corruption.
Anti-government protesters say they will not accept any candidates allied to Thaksin or Samak.
