The Pheu Thai Party has announced the appointment of Chaturon Chaisang as the head of its newly established strategic committee. This 17-member body aims to strengthen the party's position in the upcoming general election. Announced at a press conference by Pheu Thai's secretary-general Prasert Jantararuangtong, the committee will focus on addressing Thailand's national issues and bolstering democratic principles.

The committee, formed by Pheu Thai leader Julapun Amornvivat, includes several prominent party figures and was officially set up under the party's regulations. Chaturon Chaisang described the committee's mission as crucial for repositioning the party as a dominant force in the next elections. Although Chaturon has participated in similar roles for over 15 years, this is the first time a formal structure has been established with comprehensive representation.

Chaturon emphasized that the committee’s job is to develop both long-term strategies and short-term plans for the elections. He noted the committee's advantage in maintaining direct communication with the party's executive board, with the secretary-general as its secretary and the party leader serving as an adviser. He clarified that the committee does not serve as a new command center but supports strategy formulation and proposals for political directions.

Chaturon highlighted the importance of promptly evaluating the party’s strengths and policies, driven by data and public feedback. Despite opinion polls showing the party trailing, he expressed confidence that the dedication of party members could reestablish Pheu Thai as a leading political force. Julapun Amornvivat added that the committee's composition balances experienced politicians with emerging leaders, aiming to refine the party's strategies for the upcoming election, reported Bangkok Post.
