Bangkok: Yotsanu Wongsawat, the Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidate, has made a public appeal for an end to the destruction of his campaign posters and called for all political parties to foster a constructive political atmosphere.
According to Thai News Agency, Wongsawat expressed concerns over recent incidents where campaign signs were vandalized, including instances where other parties' numbers were written over them. He assured that his team is committed to promptly addressing any inappropriate placements of signs. Furthermore, Wongsawat rejected analyses that predict Pheu Thai will become a "swing party" or the third-largest party in the election. He emphasized that the public's decision is not final and that the party is focused on listening to public feedback to implement economic restructuring in line with societal needs.
In light of the recently stabilized border situation, Wongsawat highlighted the party's ongoing efforts to care for border areas. He mentioned discussions with Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul as part of Team Thailand, expressing readiness to restore border regions to facilitate the return of children to school and people to work. He remains confident in the party's strong support base in the seven southern border provinces, attributing this to the close work and trust built by parliamentary candidates with the local populace.
Regarding support for MPs in Bangkok, Wongsawat outlined a new communication strategy aimed at understanding and addressing the structural problems faced by urban residents. He directed parliamentary candidates to engage with their constituencies to identify issues and provide immediate assistance, aiming to rebuild public confidence and encourage votes for the Pheu Thai Party in 2026. The focus is on demonstrating sincerity and providing hope and support for the people.
