Anutin, accompanied by Sihasak, Sabida, and Warawut, met with the Muslim community in Bang Kapi, urging support for O Thi Thiphas. He declared his commitment to equal care for all religions and full support for pilgrims, promising firm handling of border issues without accepting disadvantages.
At 10:15 a.m. on 7 Feb 2026 GMT+7, at Yamiul Muttakin Mosque in Bang Kapi district, Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party and prime ministerial candidate, along with Mr. Sihasak Puangketkaew, also a prime ministerial candidate, Ms. Sabida Thaiset, party-list MP candidate, and Mr. Warawut Silpa-archa, party-list MP candidate, campaigned to support Ms. Thi Thiphas Chotidechachainun, candidate for Bangkok’s District 14 MP seat, and met with the local Muslim community.
Anutin greeted the crowd saying, “May peace be with you all.” He expressed his happiness to meet the generous and supportive Muslim community. The Bhumjaithai Party respects the importance of all ethnicities and religions. He felt fortunate to have Mr. Chada Thaiset’s family, including Ms. Sabida, as strong supporters serving the country. During his visits to the three southern border provinces, he received warm welcomes. Ms. Sabida, knowledgeable and capable, serves as a bridge between different nationalities and religions, fostering unity among Thais regardless of faith. Although he is Buddhist, he assured that his work does not distinguish between Muslims, Buddhists, Catholics, or any religion, serving all Thai people equally and respectfully. He instructed Ms. Sabida to work diligently to enable Muslims to undertake pilgrimages with minimal expense and to continue addressing unresolved issues, especially supporting Muslims in Songkhla and the three southern border provinces.
“Today, I ask all Muslim brothers and sisters to support O Thi Thiphas, who is knowledgeable, hardworking, and deserves to work for you. Please vote for a party and representatives who are strong and effective.”
Reporters noted that during the discussion, citizens asked the prime ministerial candidate to address border issues, the 30-baht universal healthcare scheme, energy prices, and to avoid opening border checkpoints. Anutin responded that the military and border issues are already managed and he will never act against the people's feelings or allow Thailand to be disadvantaged. He acknowledged that as prime minister, his statements might be diplomatically sensitive but assured he would never do anything against Thai people's wishes or allow exploitation as in the past. Regarding the 30-baht healthcare scheme, he has implemented it since serving as Minister of Public Health and plans to enhance it further to cover more diseases. He also promised to reduce living costs, including fuel and electricity prices, and to promote community solar power sales.
Ms. Sabida, interviewed about campaigning alongside Ms. Thi Thiphas and the Women's Power group, said that in this district many people already refer to Ms. O as ‘big sister’ throughout the neighborhood. Many have expressed their intention to vote, indicating very positive reception and strong support for the Bhumjaithai Party, number 37.
Ms. Sabida urged Bangkok residents to vote for Bhumjaithai and its district MPs, emphasizing that the party acts on its promises, has experienced, capable people who understand the local area well. She asked for votes so they could represent the people with honesty and dedication. She noted that, regardless of political groups, Bhumjaithai values democracy and is committed to improving quality of life for citizens of all ages and professions, recognizing everyone as an important part of society. She called for support to create a blue wave on 8 February, pledging to work hard to advance Thailand.
Ms. Thi Thiphas expressed her sincere intention to serve as a representative for the people of Bang Kapi and Wang Thonglang districts, where she was born and raised. She hopes voters recognize her dedication and Bhumjaithai’s good policies for the public. She highlighted the party’s professional management and inclusion of new-generation candidates, including Ms. Sabida representing the Muslim community in the government’s administration.
Campaigning at Sai Mai Market, Anutin supported candidate Ekaphop and told vendors, “Don’t remove the co-payment program signs yet; the program will return.”
At 12:00 p.m. Anutin continued campaigning in Sai Mai district, supporting Mr. Ekaphop Luangprasert, candidate for District 11 MP. He walked through the AC Sai Mai Market, meeting vendors and shoppers who often asked for photos and offered encouragement. Noticing some co-payment program signs in shops, Anutin said, “Don’t take down the signs yet; it will come back.” He confirmed that if elected, his government will continue this program.
Anutin also visited the fresh food section, inspecting ingredients and inquiring about business conditions. Many people showed support and promised to vote for number 37 before he left to meet more citizens.
As Anutin prepared to leave the AC Market by car parade, the procession of the opposition party led by Mr. Pita Limjaroenrat unexpectedly entered the market, narrowly missing a meeting between the two party leaders. Later at 1:20 p.m., Anutin’s parade arrived at Ue-Arthorn Village on Permsin Road, where he met residents amid warm applause.
