Bangkok: Pheu Thai hopes all parties will engage in constructive politics and compete in the election based on policies. A Pheu Thai spokesperson hopes all parties will engage in constructive politics and compete in the election based on policies, after reports of campaign posters being vandalized, candidates being threatened, and party numbers being distorted. The spokesperson also revealed a campaign in Nakhon Nayok province that prevented Pheu Thai from fielding candidates on time.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Suksit Srijomkwan, spokesperson for the Pheu Thai Party, commented on the election atmosphere in the final stages, stating that this election is being closely watched by the entire nation. The public expects constructive politics, policy competition, and straightforward presentation of visions, so that citizens can see the real choices and benefits that will accrue to the country. This is reflected in the results of several opinion polls.

However, recently the Pheu Thai Party has encountered certain behaviors that undermine the election atmosphere, such as candidates from some parties using threatening language and gestures towards candidates from other parties at Ubon Ratchathani Airport, and the destruction of campaign signs of both candidates and the party. Regardless of whether such actions were committed by those hired to put up the campaign signs, political parties cannot deny responsibility.

Furthermore, misinformation has been found being disseminated on social media, with comments replacing the Pheu Thai Party's number with that of another party to create confusion and mislead the public. The Pheu Thai Party hopes that such actions are not a direct operation by any particular political party, including attempts to preemptively suggest who will form a coalition government with whom, even before the public has expressed their will at the polls.

Mr. Suksit also stated that in Nakhon Nayok province, there was a movement to obstruct the Pheu Thai Party from fielding candidates. This was because the party had submitted candidate lists to provincial representatives for the primary vote, but these representatives, believed to have switched parties following the MPs, refused to withdraw their names from the list. They conducted the first primary vote and submitted a list of candidates who were not from the nominations submitted by the selection committee and who were not party members. This violated legal procedures. The party then sent a letter confirming the original list of candidates and instructed the representatives to conduct a new primary vote, but the provincial representatives claimed that a new meeting was scheduled but no members attended, failing to comply with the guidelines of the candidate selection committee and the party's executive committee. As a result, the party was unable to field candidates in Nakhon Nayok province on time.

'The Pheu Thai Party hopes that in the remaining time before the election, the political atmosphere will improve, creating a space where all parties can compete honestly and straightforwardly with their policies. Despite obstacles, the Pheu Thai Party remains committed to communicating its policies and vision for leading Thailand to a better future, and we ask that the final decision rest with the true holders of sovereignty, the people,' Mr. Suksit said.
