Bangkok: Sukhum Nuansakul, former president of Ramkhamhaeng University, has remarked on the ongoing rumors concerning the early dissolution of parliament, expressing that the likelihood remains low. He emphasized that Bhumjaithai Party’s “Half-Half Plus” scheme is poised to bolster the party’s standing, reinforcing its reputation for effective action.

According to Thai News Agency, Sukhum noted that although speculation about a parliamentary dissolution persists, most political parties are not yet prepared for such a scenario. He highlighted Bhumjaithai Party’s proactive monitoring of other parties and stated that the party should lead if a serious no-confidence motion arises, although he questioned the readiness of other parties.

Sukhum pointed out that Bhumjaithai Party has been effectively executing its political strategy, gaining voter support through tangible policies. The “Half-Half Plus” project, in particular, has shown substantial positive outcomes for both the government and the party shortly after its registration began. While not the originator of the idea, the party’s implementation has resulted in clear political gains.

He further illustrated the impact by describing scenes of people queuing at banks or ATMs to register, which he sees as beneficial points for the party. Sukhum also mentioned other efforts, such as reducing energy prices, which contribute to Bhumjaithai’s image as a party that delivers on its promises. Despite challenges like border issues and scammer criticisms, the party maintains a positive public rating.

Sukhum believes Bhumjaithai Party has the opportunity to expand its voter base with upcoming policies, without the need for an immediate parliamentary dissolution. He noted that the current policies provide significant political advantages, unless the opposition unites for a no-confidence motion, which he considers unlikely.

He concluded by underscoring Bhumjaithai’s status not just as an alternative, but as a leading party with the potential to be among the top two in terms of MP votes.
