Supamas revealed that Bhumjaithai will hold its final major rally tomorrow at the Queen Sirikit Convention Center, preparing a second phase of announcements. She urged the public to exercise their voting rights out of fear that the country faces risks and expressed confidence that the party will definitely secure Bangkok.
At 10:15 a.m. on 5 Feb 2025 GMT+7, at the Government House, Ms. Supamas Isarapakdi, Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office and responsible for Bhumjaithai Party's Bangkok MP election campaign, spoke about the party’s final major rally at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center on 6 Feb. She said it marks the campaign’s closing rally following the opening on 24 Dec 2024 at Aksara Theatre. The event will start at 4 p.m., inviting citizens and supporters to attend and hear the party’s policies. Those unable to attend can watch live via online media and the party’s Facebook page. Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, as party leader, will deliver the main speech alongside the economic team, including Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Akniti Nitithanprapas, Commerce Minister Supachai Suthammanphun, and Foreign Minister Sihasak Puangketkaew, who is also a prime ministerial candidate. Party leaders will discuss their achievements and emphasize that if Bhumjaithai forms government with Anutin as Prime Minister, the three ministers will return as deputy prime ministers.
Ms. Supamas stated that Thailand currently faces an economic crisis not only domestically but also amid global turmoil. The three leaders who attended the Davos meeting in Switzerland will report back, continuing from the Lumpini Park rally where issues were introduced and problems identified. On 6 Feb, they will explain how their professional team, along with the Prime Minister, plans to address economic challenges, revealing the solutions they will implement if given another term to govern.
When asked if the 6 Feb rally, being the final stage, will unveil any special strategies to attract more votes, Ms. Supamas replied that she believes the public has mostly decided. She urged that if people already support and cheer for the party, they should not remain at home but come out to help. The focus now is not on political divides but on presenting policies, especially economic and security ones, to ensure Thailand remains on the global economic and security map without losing any territory. On 6 Feb, the emphasis will be on what the party will do after 8 Feb once back in office.
Asked whether the large crowds attending the Prime Minister’s speeches boost confidence that Bhumjaithai will form the government, Ms. Supamas said it is not only at rallies but also during their grassroots campaigning that they have noticed a clear difference from 2023, with more people recognizing and supporting them. She urged that this support be converted into voting power. Many citizens fear the country is at risk and cannot afford such risks. Therefore, she asked everyone to vote out of fear that without a professional economic team, the country will face problems.
When asked about the earlier motto urging voters to choose the party that loves the nation or else risk other parties winning, Ms. Supamas said such slogans have passed. This is the final campaign week focusing solely on policies. If voters like Bhumjaithai’s policies and trust the professional leadership team, they should vote accordingly. While many parties offer similar appealing promises, the real question is who can implement them effectively. Over the past three to four months, the party’s professional team has proven their ability to deliver, citing policies like the “Khon La Khrueng Plus” program, which remains close to the people’s hearts. She emphasized that the party doesn’t hand out fish but provides the fishing rod—teaching citizens financial discipline and money management. The party uses minimal campaign funds and avoids populist policies, focusing instead on educating the public on earning and saving to survive. They are ready to tackle national problems.
When asked about the final stretch in Bangkok, Ms. Supamas expressed confidence in securing seats but noted that how many depends on voter turnout and support at the polls.
