Phalang Pracharat Party member from Nakhon Ratchasima Chamlong Krutkhuntod said on Sunday that Prayut, as the party’s candidate for prime minister would appear on the campaign stage alongside local constituency candidates.
According to Chamlong, Prayut would address his work in the past five years, focusing on how he had restored peace and order to the country as well as solved poverty through state welfare projects.
Sunday’s campaign stage will be the first Prayut has agreed to join after refusing to take part in any the prime ministerial debates last week.
Chamlong said it was expected that at least 20,000 voters from all constituencies in Nakhon Ratchasima would attend the event.
Former EC member Somchai Srisuthiyakorn, now running in the election under Democrat Party, however, warned Prayut not to abuse state resources in the election rally.
Prayut can only help in the election campaign outside office hours and should not use any PM privileges such as office cars or bodyguards during the rally.
