Slogan for Bangkok ballot
Play
The Pheu Thai Party is appealing to Bangkok voters with its "Understand the present, brace for the future" slogan in the run-up to the governor's election early next year.
“Bangkok has been developed without planning for more than 10 years, so it’s a disorganised place with a lot of problems. We must understand the problems of the city and envision its future,’’ Phumtham Wechayachai, a party director, said yesterday.
The ruling party is adopting the same strategy for the capital that helped it win the national election time after time over the past decade.
The party is conducting surveys and research on Bangkok to produce election campaign policies that will convince Bangkok residents to back whomever the party fields as a candidate.
The party is also asking Bangkok residents to offer their opinion of who should be the new Bangkok governor.
Just because Bangkok has voted Democratic for the past several polls would not put Pheu Thai at a disadvantage, as Bangkok people have not been happy with the Democrat governors’ performances, he added.
