Bangkok: Yotsanan Wongsawat, the Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidate, has expressed confidence in his ability to lead the formation of a government, despite recent NIDA poll results showing the Pheu Thai Party trailing in public support. Yotsanan asserted that there are "unreleased polls" indicating a significant lead for his party. He emphasized the Pheu Thai Party's readiness to implement decisive policies aimed at swaying undecided voters in the final stages of the election campaign.

According to Thai News Agency, Yotsanan addressed the NIDA poll findings which suggest that Chiang Mai residents favor the People's Party and its prime ministerial candidate over Pheu Thai. He dismissed concerns over these results, pointing to extensive fieldwork and internal polls that bolster the party's morale and confidence. Yotsanan reiterated that the Pheu Thai Party remains committed to intensifying its campaign efforts across the region, with both prime ministerial and list candidates actively engaging with voters.

Yotsanan further commented on the strategy to reclaim support in Chiang Mai, highlighting that the party's efforts are not confined to the election period but are part of ongoing engagement with the electorate. He noted that their campaign strategy involves a concerted effort by both constituency MPs and other party members to cover all areas effectively.

In response to differing poll results, Yotsanan remained optimistic, stating that the election period still holds opportunities for change. He encouraged all party MPs to enhance their communication efforts with the public, emphasizing that the final campaign week will be crucial for presenting their policies and winning over undecided voters. He expressed confidence in the party's readiness to lead the government formation.

Addressing the statement by Chaiyachanok Chidchob, the Bhumjaithai Party's secretary-general, regarding their refusal to form a government with Pheu Thai, Yotsanan referred to a subsequent clarification by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who suggested that Chaiyachanok's statement was merely a personal opinion. Yotsanan noted the ambiguity in these statements and expressed a desire for further clarification should the opportunity arise to discuss the matter directly with Chaiyachanok.
