The Thai Chana Party was officially launched yesterday, with Chatu Mongol Sonakul being nominated as its sole prime ministerial candidate.

 

Party leader Jakkraphong Chuenduang, joined by other members, conducted a shrine installation ceremony at the party’s new operations centre on Pradiphat Road. After the ceremony, campaign vehicles were dispatched to traverse Bangkok.

Established in 2021, the party plans to field 49 candidates in the upcoming election. Ten of them have registered as constituency Members of Parliament (MPs), while the remaining 39 have signed up as party-list MPs.

 

Chatu Mongol Sonakul, aged 80, was chosen as the prime ministerial candidate due to his background in finance and marketing. The party believes his expertise will significantly contribute to Thailand’s financial and trading development.
