Pentharm Unveils 3 Prime Ministerial Candidates with Party Slogan Fair Democracy

Pentharm revealed three prime ministerial candidates—Pitipong, Punyavee, and Monwalee—along with the party slogan "Fair Democracy." The party emphasized six policies, rejected gray capital politics and all forms of corruption, and declared confidence in winning parliamentary seats this time.


At 13:10 on 21 Dec 2025 GMT+7, at the Royal River Hotel, the Pentharm Party held its 2/2025 ordinary general meeting. A key agenda was electing new party executives and preparing for the upcoming election. Former party leader Pitipong Temcharoen chaired the meeting, which was attended by party members.

Pitipong makes comeback as party leader.

After the meeting, Pitipong announced the new party executive committee: he as party leader; Nuntawit Wansan as party secretary; Ms. Punyavee Temcharoen as party treasurer; Mr. Korn Osatanukroh as party registrar. Executive committee members include Boonthorn Upanan, Sursak Kanthapornsiri, and Ms. Weeranuch Theeraputhorn, who also serves as party director. The party spokesperson team comprises Prasitchai Noonual as spokesperson; Arinchai Kawikul and Ms. Saranrat Asawawongthada as deputy spokespersons and prospective candidates for Bangkok's 32nd constituency. The party also introduced Mr. Phattharasak Osatanukroh as a prospective party-list MP candidate.

Introduction of three prime ministerial candidates.

The party unveiled three prime ministerial candidates: 1. Pitipong, 2. Ms. Punyavee, and 3. Ms. Monwalee Panthonothai, along with the party slogan "Fair Democracy."

Pitipong said he promises that this time Pentharm will secure more than one parliamentary seat through both party-list and constituency systems. Based on his data, the party is gaining strong momentum since starting from zero. After launching in the 2023 election, Pentharm is now ready to serve as an administration creating jobs for the people as planned. The party has clear policies for this campaign and asks voters to consider and support them.


Pitipong added that besides himself, other team members include Dr. Nuntawit as party secretary, a young grassroots leader committed to service. He praised Nuntawit's ongoing cultural work promoting traditional Thai dance as a form of soft power, noting this candidate will run in Khon Kaen's 4th constituency.

Vows to bring Hun Sen to the International Court of Justice.

Pitipong stated that Thailand faces border issues requiring collective effort. If Pentharm forms the government, he will take Hun Sen to the International Court of Justice as a war criminal and reclaim all Thai territory before further negotiations on land and sea. He emphasized that especially Preah Vihear, a World Heritage Site with access from the Thai side, must remain Thai territory. He expressed confidence that with political support, the Thai military can resolve the Cambodia border issue by the end of this year or soon after under a new government.


Announcement of six fundamental policies.

Pitipong then outlined the party’s intent and policies, emphasizing that Pentharm does not compete on who is better but promises to do its best. The party’s six clear policy foundations are: 1. Power must not override principles; 2. Administration must be free from political games; 3. Administration must be based on competence; 4. Checks and balances must work effectively; 5. Politics must be straightforward and keep promises; and 6. Reject gray politics and all forms of corruption. The party’s main policies rest on three concepts: 1. Food security; 2. People’s security; and 3. Social security. Social stability cannot exist if laws are not sacred or apply only to some. If independent organizations do not answer to the courts and if politics is bought by gray money and extralegal power, Pentharm firmly states it will not let thieves catch thieves or allow illegal money to dictate the country’s direction.

Talent must not lose to politics.

Pitipong added that talented people must not be defeated by politics. Thai children’s futures should not be determined by social status or political connections. The lives of citizens and the country should no longer be governed by trial and error, nor should their futures be gambled. Therefore, Pentharm does not seek to win political games but aims to cooperate with the Immanuel Foundation Thailand (IMF) as an ally to combat human trafficking, including aiding victims of scams.

Committed to doing their best.

At 11:40, Pitipong was interviewed about whether a small party could compete with larger ones. He said Pentharm does not fight large parties but focuses on doing its best and offering voters an alternative. If any large party values them, they can be invited to join a coalition. They may not lead government formation but are confident Pentharm will continue to improve people’s lives. Any government working with Pentharm can be assured the party stands on principles to genuinely help people and remains a clean political party.

Predicts winning five parliamentary seats.

Asked about seat expectations, Pitipong said based on his data, Pentharm will have MPs from both party-list and constituencies, expecting about five seats total. When asked where they focus on fielding candidates, he said the party secretary himself is running in a constituency, showing confidence in Khon Kaen, where competitors number only three to four parties. They are confident of success in this election.

Two years of groundwork in Khon Kaen.

Asked about strategies to win votes, Pitipong explained that they have been working in Khon Kaen for over two years. The party secretary has worked closely with the people, who now recognize the kind of representative they want. The secretary can connect with village leaders and is capable of parliamentary work. He affirmed that Pentharm will engage in straightforward politics, which is the party’s selling point.
