During his visit, Anutin announced his intention not to open a checkpoint to avoid being overwhelmed by the local populace, and promised the introduction of a half-price scheme within a month, urging residents to be prepared. He called upon the people of Phu Sing to support the Bhumjaithai candidate, assuring them of comprehensive familial care, while emphasizing his commitment to commence work promptly after taking office.
According to Thai News Agency, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul, also the leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, traveled to Si Sa Ket Province to support Ms. Jintawan Traisaranakul, the Bhumjaithai Party’s MP candidate. The campaign took place at the multipurpose building of the Phu Sing District Office, where local residents gathered to hear the Prime Minister speak in his capacity as the Bhumjaithai Party leader.
