The Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) has recently urged voters in Chiang Mai to vote for change in the upcoming general election. The party’s leader has advocated for a national reconciliation plan which, he claims, would lead to prosperity and sustainability for the country. Capt. Thamanat Prompow, head of the PPRP’s election strategy panel for the North, addressed a large crowd at a party rally in Chiang Mai’s Constituency 10. He emphasised that political divisions would only exacerbate the country’s existing issues.

 

Capt. Thamanat explained that prosperity and sustainability cannot be achieved if the country is engulfed in political conflicts. This is the reason why the PPRP is campaigning to promote national unity and put an end to the political polarisation that plagues the nation. He said…

 

“We’ll change Chiang Mai. We must dare to bring change.”

 

Addressing the crowd, PPRP deputy leader Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn stated that if the party wins the May 14 election and is able to form the next administration, its first priority will be to reduce the cost of living. Chiang Mai has traditionally been a stronghold for the Pheu Thai Party and is the hometown of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

 

Deputy leader of the PPRP, Paiboon Nititawan, issued a warning to pollsters to strictly comply with election laws when conducting opinion polls. He emphasised that while the law does not prohibit polling organisations from conducting surveys prior to the general election, it does not tolerate biased reporting. If pollsters are found to intentionally mislead the public or manipulate results to encourage support for a particular candidate, they risk the punishment of between one and ten years in prison, along with a fine of up to 200,000 baht and revocation of election rights.

 

Paiboon highlighted that voters have the right to request the Election Commission (EC) investigate any pollsters they suspect of publishing misleading results. This serves to protect candidates from being placed at a disadvantage due to biased or manipulated surveys.

 

Meanwhile, the Chartpattanakla Party expressed confidence that it will make progress in the southern region by winning seats in Phuket and Songkhla. Based on the feedback gathered from campaign rallies and internal polls, deputy leader Atavit Suwanpakdee believes the party could emerge victorious in both Phuket constituencies and Songkhla’s Constituency 2.

Yes , sure , who still believes a politician ...?

The amazing logic of Palang Pracharath Party: How to achieve change by voting for the same fools.

The PPRP is dominated by the military. And we all know the military style:

I order and you have to follow. No criticism tolerated, we think for you, we earn our salary by hard working ---- hm, hmm, hmmmm.

We, the leaders, live in wonderful houses in nice areas, so that we can stop the enemies by watching our houses and the green land around  ..... with open eyes and mouthes. And corruption is not our privilege. Learn it!
