Bangkok: Anutin Charnvirakul has firmly stated that he will not involve his son in his political campaign and emphasized that his objective is to serve the country rather than compete with others. The leader of the Bhumjaithai Party made these remarks following the Pheu Thai Party's claim of a stronghold in three central provinces. He also refrained from commenting on suggestions that "Teng," a notable figure in Thai politics, would be a preferable prime minister.

According to Thai News Agency, Anutin, who is also the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, instructed civil servants at the Ministry of Interior to maintain neutrality during the election. He explained that neutrality means not showing favoritism or opposition in their official capacities, although they are free to act personally as they choose.

Currently, it is common for political parties to involve family members in their campaigns. When questioned about the possibility of his son joining his political efforts, Anutin humorously denied such plans, stating that his family members independently manage their own affairs.

When a reporter playfully inquired whether his appearance could still rival that of younger politicians, Anutin suggested the question be directed to his wife.

Regarding potential strategic moves in the campaign, Anutin expressed that the Bhumjaithai Party relies on sincerity and fulfilling promises rather than dramatic tactics. He emphasized that these qualities are sufficient to gain public trust without the need for last-minute strategies.

Addressing Bhumjaithai's policies for Bangkok, Anutin highlighted the party's focus on economic, social, border security, and environmental issues as key areas of concern.

In response to the Pheu Thai Party's active campaign in Ayutthaya and other central areas where Bhumjaithai has a substantial presence, Anutin remarked that every party aims for victory and it is natural for them to project confidence.

When asked about the goal of securing over 100 parliamentary seats, Anutin reiterated his dedication to serving the nation, dismissing any notion of rivalry.

On the topic of Mr. Nattapong Ruangpanyawut's campaign to be a better prime minister, Anutin stated that he does not engage in self-praise.

Anutin nodded in agreement with Mr. Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit's assertion that the People's Party should prove its effectiveness in the next four years, or else lose public support.

When confronted with criticism about using border issues with Cambodia in election campaigns, Anutin chose not to comment, instead focusing on listening to the question.
