“Phiphat” boasts that the Bhumjaithai party is receiving very strong support in the three southern border provinces. He declines to comment on the drama involving verbal attacks against the Democrat Party, leaving the public to decide for themselves.
At 09:17 on 13 Jan 2026 GMT+7, at Government House, Mr. Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, and a key leader of the Bhumjaithai party responsible for the southern region, spoke about campaigning in the South over the past weekend. He said the response was good, especially in the three southern border provinces, which received very positive reception. He hopes the party will gain more representatives from this area. Having personally visited the area with Mr. Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, Minister of Industry and party-list MP candidate, they will continue efforts to revive the economy in the three provinces, as the average annual income per capita is very low.
Regarding the verbal disputes with the Democrat Party, Mr. Phiphat immediately said, “I won’t talk about this. I think it’s not good. Whether we become allies or continue to exchange barbs, it’s better to let the people decide.”
