Prasert has not yet predicted whether Suang will win the Sa Kaeo by-election, stating he will wait until candidate registration closes and the competitors are known.
At 09:35 on 10 Nov 2026 at the Government House, Prasert Chantrawongthong, Minister of Education and Secretary-General of the Pheu Thai Party, said regarding the Sa Kaeo Constituency 3 by-election, following Suang Thienthong, deputy leader of Pheu Thai and candidate for the seat, drawing candidate number 1: the party will wait until the nomination process finishes, expected within this week.
Prasert added that the party’s confidence level is currently uncertain because they do not yet know who else will run; they must wait until nominations close. He also noted that the by-election atmosphere is less lively than general elections.
When asked if the absence of major parties’ candidates would improve Pheu Thai’s chances, Prasert said the party nominated Suang, who, although not previously an MP, has continued performing duties as a former MP, effectively maintaining ongoing work.
