They introduced the prospective Palang Pracharath candidates for the House of Representatives. At the Palang Pracharath headquarters in the Bang Pho area, the launch included: Ms. Prapa Hengpaiboon, former Kalasin MP for Constituency 4 from Bhumjaithai, known as the 'Elephant Slayer' for defeating a 5-term incumbent in the last election, joined Palang Pracharath along with Mr. Supasit Hengpaiboon, Mr. Paphat Hengpaiboon, and Mr. Phadung Nongpong, former news editor, who plans to run in Constituency 5 of Pathum Thani.
