Future Forward leader urges first-timer voters to make their voices heard
Future Forward Party co-founder Piyabutr Saengkanokkul urged first-time voters to turn out for the election so as to steer the country towards democracy.
Piyabutr, who cast his ballot at a polling station near his home in Nonthaburi’s Muang district earlier on Sunday afternoon, said despite the unfair rules this election provided an opportunity for the country to move forward on the democratic track. He urged all people who were yet to exercise their right to take the initiative and express their opinion on the direction in which the country should move.
He said he was happy he had finally got a chance to vote in the national election after many years.
“This election is a small light of hope in the darkness, and despite its many flaws it is very important to determine the country’s future,” he said.
“I would like to invite everyone, especially seven million young new voters, to come out and make their voices heard in this election before the polling stations close at 5pm.”
He thanked volunteers at every polling station for their contribution and hard work in facilitating this historic election.
