Chiang mai: "Teng," the People's Party's prime ministerial candidate, recently campaigned in Chiang Mai's District 3, the birthplace of the Shinawatra family, aiming to secure votes for the party to establish a government. He expressed confidence in winning all 10 parliamentary seats in Chiang Mai.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Nattapong Ruangpanyawut, also known as "Teng," leader of the People's Party and the party's prime ministerial candidate, continued his campaign to support Mr. Nattapol Tovichakchaikul, the party's candidate for Member of Parliament in Chiang Mai's District 3. During his visit, he paid respects at Wat Phra That Doi Saket, seeking blessings from sacred deities, including Phra Rachapothiworakun, the abbot and deputy head of the Chiang Mai Provincial Sangha. His visit attracted villagers and supporters eager to take photos, including a 92-year-old grandmother who wished him success and expressed her hopes for Thailand's prosperity through the efforts of the younger generation.

Mr. Nattapong then proceeded to Phadung Doi Daen Market to campaign further, where he was warmly received by the public, including merchants and vendors who showed their support and encouragement.

He stated that his visit to Chiang Mai, particularly District 3, which includes Doi Saket, Mae On, and San Kamphaeng districts, has strengthened his resolve. Despite the Pheu Thai Party's intention to reclaim the area, Mr. Nattapong remains optimistic about securing all 10 parliamentary seats in the upcoming election.

Mr. Nattapong assured that the People's Party has made no deals with other parties, focusing solely on forming a government for the people. He emphasized that the party will not collaborate with the Kla Tham Party and the Bhumjaithai Party. He encouraged the public to vote with confidence in the election and choose a prime minister from the People's Party, highlighting the absence of Senate votes this time.

Addressing claims about the People's Party's conditions, Mr. Nattapong argued that setting standards such as ensuring ministers have no questionable backgrounds, history of drug trafficking or human trafficking, and possess necessary knowledge and competence, aligns with global political norms.
