The New Choice Party secures 1 party-list seat, sending Rachen to parliament. "Pee Tae" is pleased that young people have enthusiastically supported the space policy.
On 9 Feb 2026 GMT+7 at the New Choice Party headquarters in Nonthaburi province, Mr. Rachen Trakulwiang, party leader, together with Mr. Mongkolkitti Suksintaranon (Tae Rama 7), party secretary-general, held a press conference to thank the public after winning 1 party-list MP seat. Key points included:
Mr. Rachen expressed gratitude to the public for granting over 150,000 genuine votes amid widespread vote-buying. He pledged to immediately fulfill his role as a people's representative in parliament once the Election Commission certifies the results.
Mr. Mongkolkitti noted the party received excellent support from youth aged 18-30 interested in progressive policies in science, space technology, and energy. Despite criticism labeling these as unrealistic dreams, the votes prove that young voters want a different kind of politics and world-changing policies. The party's previously announced platforms—including establishing a space force and developing advanced technology—will be actively pursued to prove they can be realized as promised during the campaign.
