Hat yai: Mr. Korn Chatikavanij, Deputy Leader and Prime Minister candidate of the Democrat Party, has highlighted the growing support for the party in Hat Yai district and Songkhla province. The response from the public has been notably positive, surpassing expectations. Korn expressed gratitude to his team and thanked the people of Songkhla province, the southern region, and the country for their warm reception and backing of the Democrat Party.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Korn emphasized the desire of Hat Yai and the southern residents for new political hope, grounded in honesty and a genuine understanding of their issues, contrasting the politics of previous years. The Democrat Party is prepared with policies to address structural problems, such as the flooding in Hat Yai, with scientifically and engineering-based solutions poised for immediate implementation to bolster the southern economy.

Mr. Juri Numkaew, the Democrat Party's candidate for Member of Parliament, Constituency 2, Songkhla Province, shared that his campaign received natural and quiet support, rather than organized votes, making it challenging to predict outcomes. The encouragement from local villagers has been a significant motivator for him, reflecting a broader sentiment across the South.

Mr. Juri observed that the movement to "Return the Sky to the South" is widespread, driven by disillusionment with corruption and shady influences in recent years. Many southerners recall the Democrat Party's past role as a voice for the people and associate it with clean politics, recalling leaders like Abhisit Vejjajiva as symbols of integrity.

Korn noted that an image of Juri with Mr. Chuan Leekpai resonated strongly with the public, symbolizing honesty and integrity. Chuan, seen as "a well-off villager's son," and Juri, "a villager's daughter," both represent perseverance and honesty, reinforcing the party's appeal.

Mr. Korn underscored the importance of representatives like Juri, who connect directly with the public, inspiring faith and making the "Returning Sky to the South" movement a reality. In conclusion, Mr. Juri urged the people of Hat Yai and Songkhla to support a "true son of the people" by voting for number 1, with Korn reminding them to also vote for number 27.
