Bangkok: Yotsanan has urged for constructive politics following the vandalism of Pheu Thai's campaign posters in various districts, calling the actions unacceptable. He addressed criticisms regarding the party being labeled as the third-largest swing party, emphasizing that the public has yet to make a decision. He expressed confidence in maintaining the party's support base in the border provinces, asserting that the people understand the situation.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Yotsanu Wongsawat, Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidate, highlighted the issue of individuals writing the numbers of other political parties on Pheu Thai's campaign posters and the vandalism of these posters in some districts. He stressed the need for the campaign to focus on constructive politics. Acknowledging the inappropriate placement of party posters in certain areas, he stated that the team is prepared to make improvements. He called on all sectors to report such incidents to the Pheu Thai Party to foster better politics, emphasizing that next year must be a year of hope for the people.
Addressing analyses that suggest Pheu Thai will become the third-largest party and a game-changer, Mr. Yotsanan argued that this perspective is incorrect. He stressed that people have not yet made a decision, and this viewpoint disregards their voices. He believes a change is necessary, focusing on forward-looking discussions. The public wants to hear about economic and structural changes, which need to be addressed from the perspective of people of all ages. He emphasized the importance of examining what policies each political party has on these matters.
In a conversation with Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul, Mr. Yotsanan congratulated the people in the border areas on the calming situation. He reiterated that on matters of foreign affairs and security, they are a team. He assured that when peace is restored, they are ready to provide support. They discussed focusing on providing comprehensive care for the people, enabling students to return to school and citizens to return to work quickly.
When questioned about concerns that border issues might disadvantage Pheu Thai in the southern border provinces, Mr. Yotsanan expressed confidence that sincerity and a lack of shortcomings in such matters would earn the party a chance. He believes they can maintain their voter base in these provinces, with the party's parliamentary candidates and the people understanding their position.
Discussing the campaign plan in Bangkok, Mr. Yotsanan noted that certain communication methods will be necessary as some citizens are gradually returning to their hometowns. He highlighted the importance of understanding and structurally solving problems. The party's candidates are campaigning in the area, focusing on necessary assistance and demonstrating sincerity throughout their campaign to gain public trust and votes for Pheu Thai again.
