Bangkok: Yotchanan is confident that Pheu Thai will retain its seats in the Northeast. Yotsanan is optimistic about Pheu Thai's chances in the region despite the departure of former party MPs to other parties. He acknowledges the challenge posed by opinion polls, which currently show the party trailing its competitors, emphasizing the need for caution and intensified efforts to communicate policies effectively.
According to Thai News Agency, Yotsanu Wongsawat, Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidate, recently visited the Northeast, targeting constituencies previously held by former party MPs. His visit was not just about retaining seats but also to stress the importance of communicating the party's policies to avoid public confusion. The campaigning efforts in provinces like Nong Bua Lamphu, Khon Kaen, and Nakhon Ratchasima, led by campaign assistant Nattawut Saikua, have been crucial in reinforcing confidence in the upcoming election.
Yotsanan expressed confidence in maintaining the existing voter base, citing positive responses from large rally crowds and effective communication of policies by candidates. Addressing the "Isaan Poll" results, which show the candidate trailing, Yotsanan emphasized the importance of vigilance and clear communication in the field. He also noted that multiple polls indicate a lead in several provinces.
Internal assessments of poll results have been released to help the party identify focus areas and improve policy communication. The use of data science, including polls and ground observations, plays a significant role in the party's strategy. Yotsanan clarified the differences between Pheu Thai's polls and other polling agencies, highlighting the importance of respecting academic principles.
Looking ahead, Yotsanan mentioned potential strategic adjustments and policy announcements, focusing on communicating timelines for policy implementation to provide clarity to the public.
