"Teng Nitthapong and Tim Pita" teamed up for a major rally in Suphanburi, urging voters to mark two ballots for the People's Party, along with approving the referendum, calling for change and expressing confidence that a people's government will definitely perform better than past administrations.
At 18:00 on 2 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Mr. Nitthapong Rueangpanyawut, leader of the People's Party and prime ministerial candidate, together with Mr. Pita Limjaroenrat, former leader of the Move Forward Party and campaign assistant for the People's Party, held a campaign speech supporting the People's Party candidate for Suphanburi MP at the playground of Wat Pa Lelai School, Mueang District, Suphanburi Province.
At 19:46, Mr. Pita took the stage to greet the people of Suphanburi, saying the province has now been decisively won. Today is the proudest day for him as he aims to deliver the next prime minister to the people with number 46 and send PM Teng to the government house. Coming to Suphanburi today, he brought full confidence. The encouragement from Suphanburi people in 2023 is still remembered. He is confident that a new era for Suphanburi has arrived, with time to sprout new growth. He also expressed great comfort seeing the warm welcome for Mr. Nitthapong, noting this is the closest they have come to the finish line so far. Suphanburi should also renew itself, including agriculture and agricultural products, by incorporating technology into farming systems.
Then at 19:57, Mr. Nitthapong took the stage and said that on 8 February, he wants people to vote for change in Suphanburi. The people must choose between just changing colors or changing Suphanburi itself. He spoke about the party's policies, such as agricultural land management. The People's Party has a policy team to improve the quality of life for farmers in Suphanburi, including addressing farmers' debt. If the People's Party becomes the government, the priority is to ensure hardworking farmers receive greater benefits. He also stated, "I will be the prime minister for all the people."
The atmosphere of the final campaign rally saw people gradually arriving to secure seats and listen to the People's Party's vision from the afternoon onward. The seats in the venue were fully occupied, and when Mr. Pita and Mr. Nitthapong took the stage, they received enthusiastic support from the audience. This rally was closely watched since Suphanburi is a strategic area long dominated by an incumbent party for over three decades.
After the rally, Mr. Nitthapong said he was quite pleased. Mr. Pita whispered that the turnout was higher than in 2023. When asked how confident Mr. Pita was in PM Teng, Mr. Pita replied, "The most confident, the most I have ever been in working with someone." Previously, Mr. Nitthapong was always with him. If he becomes prime minister, Mr. Nitthapong would likely serve as Minister of Digital Economy and Society or as Secretary to the Prime Minister. But now he is the real prime minister.
When asked to assess their election prospects, Mr. Nitthapong said the highest estimate was... "The method to form a people's government requires a gap of about 30-40 seats between first and second place. Confidence is high based on public support and various polls; we firmly believe this will definitely happen." He also expressed concern about possible spoiled ballots due to green ballots with incorrect district codes, which might cause ballots to be returned incorrectly and potentially disrupt the overall election process. He urged the Election Commission to clarify this.
Regarding possible setbacks affecting the People's Party's votes, he called on the public: if you cannot tolerate an election system that seems unfair and undermines voting rights, show your strength on 8 February — the real day. If everyone votes massively to win decisively, no matter how much cheating occurs, the people's power will not be defeated.
When asked if he felt threatened by the Pheu Thai Party's rally, which traditionally holds the area, Mr. Nitthapong said he was not worried. He trusted what they presented on stage, and Mr. Pita spoke about their professional management team. He is ready to use technology to address agriculture, drugs, and government transparency. He trusts his party members, past leaders, current candidates, and management team working together in this election. He asked for the public's overwhelming trust, confident they will do better than past governments.
When asked what he would say to the people of Suphanburi as a prime ministerial candidate, Mr. Nitthapong said, He felt glad and thankful to all Suphanburi residents and urged them to decide on 8 February to vote for change — to improve the future for their children and grandchildren. He asked them to set aside past politics, vote for the People's Party with two ballots, and approve the new constitution to move forward with a people's government and create change together. Asked about the possibility of forming a single-party government, the People's Party leader said it depends on the people's votes. If they give overwhelming trust and exceed 20 million votes, the chance is very high. This is the critical final stage, aiming to gain trust to establish a people's government.
Regarding rumors of deals for nine ministerial seats excluding the People's Party, Mr. Nitthapong said this is typical old-style political maneuvering. They are focused solely on campaigning, presenting their policies and intentions to the people. He believes this final stretch will bring the people's trust and enable them to form a government that truly creates change, not negotiating ministerial quotas before the election.
When asked about Pheu Thai's goal of 220 seats, Mr. Nitthapong said every party sets its own goals and aims to win — that's normal. Mr. Pita added that if all parties met their targets, the total would exceed 1,000 seats, which is more than the parliament size. He noted the atmosphere in Suphanburi was the most lively he had seen and the people seemed more alert than expected, showing a mix of anger and hope. He urged everyone to use their right to vote fully and called on the Election Commission to aim for 80% voter turnout. He believes there is no area the People's Party cannot win if turnout is that high.
At the end, Mr. Nitthapong mentioned the big rallies in the final stretch, hinting the People's Party has surprises to reveal. He invited everyone to follow the rallies from all eight caravan routes and the major rally on 6 February. Their goal is to form a government that brings change and urged people not to cling to old political colors. He said if anyone agrees with making Thailand free from political color divisions, ensuring equality among Thais and modernization, they should vote for the People's Party. "We will prove we can do it and are confident we will succeed." Mr. Pita added that voters need to understand why voting for two orange ballots is necessary. To align election results with government formation, the gap between constituency and party-list ballots must be minimized. If people want Suphanburi to be orange together, they must vote for two orange ballots, not split their votes.
