Bangkok: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Suchart Chomklin, highlighted the strategic preparations and unity within the Bhumjaithai Party as it gears up for the upcoming elections. Suchart, a leading figure in the party, likened the party’s structure to the Mekong River, emphasizing that all streams flow together to form a powerful force. He expressed confidence in winning between 150 to 200 parliamentary seats.

According to Thai News Agency, Suchart revealed his central role in controlling the election campaign with a group of nearly 20 people. He has expanded his oversight to include the provinces of Chanthaburi and Trat, managing all three constituencies in Chanthaburi and one in Trat. Suchart explained that the party’s campaign management relies on areas of expertise, with key figures overseeing different regions to ensure a cohesive strategy akin to assembling a jigsaw puzzle.

In his address, Suchart underlined the importance of collaboration over factionalism, stating that achieving the best results according to party goals is the priority. He acknowledged the contributions of the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party in the past and noted that political shifts are common as parties and individuals find their optimal fit. Suchart maintained that there are no issues with his previous party, emphasizing the mutual respect that remains.

Discussing the Bhumjaithai Party’s election strategy, Suchart reiterated the party’s “say it, do it” philosophy, pointing to recent policy implementations under party leader and Prime Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul. He highlighted the swift execution of initiatives like the “Half-Price Plus” scheme, demonstrating the government’s commitment to fulfilling promises and supporting the public.

Suchart expressed confidence that the upcoming election would showcase the Bhumjaithai Party’s ability to deliver tangible results, contrasting it with parties that make empty promises. He emphasized that the party’s representatives are chosen for their dedication to serving the public, rather than exploiting them. Suchart also addressed the possibility of winning up to 200 seats, acknowledging it as a goal for any political party.

In response to queries about the party’s expected success, Suchart used the metaphor of small rivers merging to form the large Mekong River, illustrating the party’s growth through unity and collaboration. He noted that expanding a political base is a gradual process, much like the natural formation of a mighty river.
