Bhumjaithai yet to decide on Ekniti-Suphajee as PM candidates
Bhumjaithai Party confirms no final decision on Ekniti Nitithanprapas and Suphajee Suthampan as PM candidates, with a decision expected soon
A spokesperson for the Bhumjaithai Party confirmed that no final decision has been made regarding Ekniti Nitithanprapas, Deputy PM and Minister of Finance, and Suphajee Suthumpun, Minister of Commerce, as potential prime minister candidates for the party.
During an interview, Bhumjaithai spokesperson Nan Bunthida Somchai revealed that the party is using the slogan "Speak and Do Plus" for the upcoming election.
The slogan represents the party's commitment to follow through on its promises and continue to expand and improve upon the policies of the current government.
Bunthida emphasized that the upcoming election will be different, with the party broadening its policy approach and focusing on every aspect of the country, as previously stated by party leader and Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.
Bunthida also mentioned that the party had seen a significant increase in membership over the past few weeks, with many expressing interest in running for office under the Bhumjaithai banner.
While some of these individuals are associated with the “big house” political faction, she clarified that the party is drawing support from all sectors and professions. The presence of high-profile figures joining the party shows its readiness to work for the people and address issues on the ground.
Regarding the selection of the party's prime minister candidates, Bunthida stated that the final decision will be based on work experience and capabilities. She assured that an announcement will be made soon, but for now, candidates Ekniti and Suphajee are still under consideration.
When asked about the election campaign situation, Bunthida acknowledged some challenges in campaigning, particularly in the border regions of Thailand and Cambodia, where unrest has affected several provinces in the Northeast and East.
While this presents some limitations, she pointed out that modern campaigning is not just about posters but also involves reaching voters through online platforms.
