The leader of the Move Forward Party (MFP) was hailed politician of the year according to an E-Saan Poll. The survey was compiled by the E-Saan Centre for Business and Economic Research (ECBER) of the Faculty of Management Science, Khon Kaen University, in the Isaan province of Khon Kaen.

 

The annual “Rewards of E-Saan” poll aims to gauge the sentiments of people in the northeastern provinces regarding outstanding people, organisations, and achievements in various fields.

 

The director of the E-Saan Poll, Suthin Wianwiwat, yesterday, July 20, reported the survey results for the first half of the year to ThaiRath. He explained that the poll was conducted from July 14 to 16 and garnered input from 1,055 participants aged 18 and above, representing 20 provinces in Isaan.

 

Suthin explained that the survey followed an open-ended format, allowing participants to freely suggest names of outstanding people, organisations, or works that left a lasting impression on them.

 

According to the survey, 36.8% of participants hailed MFP leader Pita Limjaroenrat as the politician of the year. The prime minister (PM) candidate from the Pheu Thai Party, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, earned recognition from 11.7% of respondents. Meanwhile, 4.8% mentioned the Thai Sang Thai’s leader, Sudarat Keyurapha while 4.7% backed the current PM Prayut Chan-o-cha.

So why is he not Prime Minister and shaking hand with someone else instead of standing ground.

As he's not popular nor politician of the year among the most influential and controlling circles. 

Not terribly difficult to figure out, even when your comment was made rhetorically.

Ask the 250 bone headed thin skinned senators and the caretaker coup government.

 

THEY know what is best for the Thai people, and not those silly Thai people in their millions who voted wrongly.

Meanwhile,

@Pita_MFP

has posted something for the first time since his PM bid ended on Thursday, showing himself on a much-needed break at the beach with his daughter. “Forward together,” it says.

What's missing from above posts is Issan is or might i say was Thaksin country. PT joins with military forces to get PM then that's the end of PT. No doubt Pita will be banned from politics for 10 yrs by the junta but the change has happened on the ground. Change will happen. How and when is the million dollar question.

Not much point in the E-Saaners loving him if they don't hop on the buses in their hundreds of thousands to occupy central BKK for the next few months!
