“Natthaphong” receives “Thanathorn” for his encouragement, vows to work hard

Nattapong' accepts 'Thanathorn' for his encouragement, vows to work hard and develop himself to be ready to be a prime minister candidate if a single-party government is not formed, and is ready to join hands with other parties, but must not conflict with ideology. Mr. Nattapong Ruangpanyawut, MP, party-list, leader of the Prachachon Party, core leader of the Prachachon Party, answered questions from the media after the Prachachon Party's launch announcement about how negotiations with the original political power groups will proceed. Mr. Nattapong said that what we have always insisted on is that we do not want to negotiate access to political power, negotiate ministerial positions. If asked how we will negotiate with the original power groups, in the case of political negotiations, but not exchanging benefits from the people or certain benefits that the party must have against its own ideology, for example, if there are election results, forming a government, having corrupt ministers, and we do not agree to deal with it, it is considered that we are against the party's ideology. Therefore, we will negotiate on the principles of the people. Anything that is a political negotiation, does not conflict with the beliefs and ideology of the party, we can discuss it all. As for the case of the 'cobra MPs', Mr. Nattapong said that now the proof is that we can all move to the Prachachon Party, including the Bangkok Council members. He thinks that this matter of proving the 'cobra' should not be an issue at this time. When asked who will be the party's prime ministerial candidate, Mr. Nattapong said that as the leader of the Prachachon Party, to be honest, he thinks that today he is not yet perfect, but he is ready to develop himself as long as the people support him. He sees that what we have always done, we have done very simply. Politics belongs to everyone, belongs to the people. As long as we have this support, he is ready to push himself forward. As for the prime ministerial candidate, we have learned from the past. We are open-minded and can propose many names, but they must go through discussions in the future. He thinks that he is ready to act on behalf of everyone. As for the prime minister, he must be ready in every aspect. He is ready to develop himself to be even better. When asked how he will lead the People's Party to victory in the 2027 election, Mr. Nattapong said that he thinks it is hard work. If he compares himself to former party leaders, he thinks his qualifications may not be equal, but what he thinks he has is no less than others, which is bringing us here, doing better in politics than before. What he has no less than anyone else is hard work, in order to lead the party to victory in the election. When asked if he would join hands with Pheu Thai in the next election if a government were to be formed, Mr. Natthaphong said that it was too early to answer that question, but it depended on the election results whether we won the election and could form a single-party government. However, if we did not receive more than half of the votes, we would have to join hands with other political parties. However, who we would join hands with would depend on the policies in the next election. If the parties proposing policies did not conflict with us, we were ready to work with all parties. When asked how he felt about being watched when starting the Prachachon Party and how he handled it, Mr. Nattapong said that he definitely felt pressured, including all his friends. The pressure we put on him wasn't bad, but it was a way to elevate himself. It was also the right thing for the media to ask questions and for the public to ask questions of all parties and the people who proposed themselves as future prime minister candidates. It wasn't a mistake. He wanted everyone to help keep an eye on his work. When asked if Thanathorn had given any advice before becoming party leader, Mr. Nattaphong said that a few days ago he had spoken to Mr. Thanathorn and he had communicated directly. He said that if he were to accept t his position, if he had to do it as a prime minister candidate, he would have to develop himself, see policies in many areas, and work hard. He thought that what Mr. Thanathorn had advised was the most correct. Today, he came to the press conference and thought that one of the most important things was that if he proposed himself as a prime minister candidate, he would communicate directly. The thing that influenced him was ideology and beliefs, not personalities Source: Thai News Agency
