Rangsit Rom led the PChon party candidates to Sisaket to submit their candidacies for parliamentary seats, greeting Tong Siriphong from Bhumjaithai. Meanwhile, Lisa Phakmon traveled to Nakhon Si Thammarat. At the same time, Rattapoom Lertpaichit, PChon candidate in Phetchabun, held an orange while drawing his number, appealing for votes for both himself and the party.
On 27 December 2025 GMT+7, the first day of candidate registration for the 2026 parliamentary elections at the Sisaket Irrigation Project, the atmosphere was lively. From early morning, candidates from various parties arrived with their supporters, banners, and flowers to offer encouragement, amid strict security and order maintained by officials.
At the People's Party, Deputy Leader Rangsit Rom led the party’s parliamentary candidates to register early, showing readiness for the upcoming election. Meanwhile, Thanet Kruarat, candidate for Sisaket constituency 1 from the Pheu Thai Party, the incumbent champion in the area, also registered early, warmly supported by his supporters.
The Bhumjaithai Party, a major competitor in the area, had candidate Siriphong Angkasungkulkit register as well. Party secretary Traisuree Traisornkul arrived with the family of Vichit Traisornkul to support their candidate, highlighting the significance of the Sisaket election contest, which is closely watched.
Reporters noted that Rangsit Rom, Deputy Leader of the People's Party, and Siriphong Angkasungkulkit, Deputy Leader of Bhumjaithai, shook hands in greeting during the registration process.
Meanwhile, in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phakmon Hunan (Lisa), prospective party-list candidate for the People's Party in the Southern region, led the nine constituency candidates from the province to officially register amid a lively atmosphere.
The People's Party has fielded candidates for all nine constituencies in Nakhon Si Thammarat, with the following names and numbers:
Constituency 1: Pakorn Areekul (Number 4)
Constituency 2: Jaruith Masbamrung (Number 5)
Constituency 3: Chaiprajak Siriphan (Number 6)
Constituency 4: Watchara Ketsu (Number 3)
Constituency 5: Somchot Meechana (Number 1)
Constituency 6: Puttipong Luijio (Number 7)
Constituency 7: Hawa Buicharoen (Number 5)
Constituency 8: Theerawat Boonwan (Number 2)
Constituency 9: Natthawat Thongsap (Number 2)
Phakmon said the 2026 election is about choosing the future, a major question for the people of Nakhon Si Thammarat to jointly answer: which party can they fully trust to be “not gray” and ready to lead Thailand toward an equal future? Although the People's Party has yet to firmly establish itself in Nakhon Si Thammarat, the situation has changed. The social decay in Thailand has become clear, so the people cannot neglect deciding their future any longer.
In Phetchabun, the atmosphere was also lively. The province has six constituencies, with Bhumjaithai supported by Akkaradet Thongjasod, the provincial administrative organization chief, and Santi Prompat, former Deputy Finance Minister, attending to show support.
It was notable that PChon candidates and supporters each held one orange. Rattapoom Lertpaichit, PChon candidate for constituency 1, assigned number 5, explained that members and supporters are called the “orange group.” Today, each person carried one orange while appealing for votes from Phetchabun residents to support both the candidates and the party, emphasizing “with orange, no gray; with us, no scammers for sure.”
Santi Prompat, the party-list candidate from Bhumjaithai and party leader in Phetchabun, expressed confidence that although he moved from Palang Pracharath Party to Bhumjaithai, he believes he will win all constituencies as before. Even though some former MPs moved to other parties, the newcomers replacing them are capable and have been meeting with citizens consistently.
Some supporters remarked that the candidates' numbers in each constituency likely match their party numbers, making them easy to remember and avoiding confusion.
