"Teng Natthapong" believes the People’s Party has received number 46, that the public will choose them, and is ready to begin campaigning immediately without fear of dominant political forces. Meanwhile, "Mai Sirikanya" asks voters to remember only the orange party logo with the inverted triangle.
On 28 Dec 2025 GMT+7, Mr. Natthapong Rueangpanyawut, leader of the People’s Party and the party’s first prime ministerial candidate, along with Ms. Sirikanya Tansakul, deputy party leader and second prime ministerial candidate, and Mr. Weerayut Kanchuchat, deputy party leader and third prime ministerial candidate, spoke after the party-list number draw. The People’s Party was assigned number 46, and Mr. Natthapong and the prime ministerial candidates made a hand sign showing the number 46.
Mr. Natthapong stated that the number 46 is one he believes all citizens will choose, adding that the public is paying close attention because this election will determine the country's fate. The People’s Party plans to campaign locally to present its policies and ensure the public knows the party’s number.
Meanwhile, Ms. Sirikanya said that to keep it simple, as in the past three elections, she asks voters to remember just the inverted triangle and, when entering the polling booth, look for the orange party’s logo. Everything else remains the same.
For the next month, Mr. Natthapong said that he, along with the management team, candidates, and policy makers, are fully prepared. When asked if having large parties with consecutive numbers means they are allies, he responded that friendship is not determined by numbers but by stances and policies. He emphasized that all party leaders will begin campaigning immediately, encouraging voter turnout to understand policies and candidates. He expressed concern about advance voting registration, including out-of-district and overseas voters, noting many have yet to register due to lack of awareness, so communication efforts are necessary.
Regarding the campaign strategy for the final phase, Mr. Natthapong said that previous campaigns in 2019 and 2023 emphasized public participation in change, and this election is no different. Natural vote leaders want to bring change, and fundraising campaigns come from the public because the party wants its rise to power to genuinely originate from the people. This is the election strategy.
Mr. Natthapong reiterated that this time the People’s Party is number one and will not be viewed as an underdog. Sharp political attacks will focus on them, but he has confidence in Mr. Weerayut, Ms. Sirikanya, and all party members, fully aware of the rules and laws to observe. He revealed the party has teams monitoring defamatory remarks during campaigning and teams providing explanations to ensure the public quickly and widely receives factual information. He urged undecided voters not to lose hope, highlighting that this election excludes the Senate from selecting the prime minister, so every vote counts not only for MPs but also for the government’s face and the country’s future. He called for support for the People’s Party’s two ballots to prevent gray networks from dominating the country, to reform the bureaucracy, and to adopt a new economic model that fosters social growth.
Regarding opposition to the People’s Party’s policies, Mr. Natthapong said that at every debate and campaign stop, they communicate based on public interest. He is confident that all candidates are strong choices comparable to other parties. He is not worried or afraid of the influence of large political factions because their MPs are not funded by big capital. He remains cautious about polls and continues to emphasize straightforward communication.
