Anutin Declares Bhumjaithai Ready to Be the Number One Party in This Election

Anutin said he will wait until the time comes to decide which party to cooperate with. He asserted that currently, the goal is to be the number one party because many people have joined. He is confident this will make the party bigger than before.


On 15 Dec 2025 GMT+7 at 09:10, Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, appeared on the "Workers' News Offscreen Talk" program, hosted by Sarayut Sutasnachinda. When asked whether Bhumjaithai would cooperate with Pheu Thai or the People's Party if it became first or second, Anutin replied that he would wait until that day. There is much to consider, but if all sides set aside personal issues and unprofessionalism and focus on the country’s interests, cooperation is possible. Currently, Bhumjaithai is well prepared with personnel and policies, much more so than before. Previously, it was a medium-sized party without overreaching ambitions, but now it aims to be the number one party as the government leader and main coalition organizer. Many personnel from various sectors have joined, increasing the party’s size. He is confident the party can grow larger, not because being the government gives an advantage, but because it can show the public effective work. When asked if this election is like an escalator ride for Anutin and Bhumjaithai to return to government, he said it is somewhat like that. He sees current party personnel capable of managing the country and believes efforts are not just to make him prime minister; whoever is ready in the party should take the position. When asked if this election is a gamble for Anutin to become prime minister for the first time, since Bhumjaithai was seen as a medium-sized party before, he said he tries to do his best with the ability he has.
