Chaiya Promma, who was appointed the party’s deputy agriculture and cooperatives secretary in the most recent case shakeup, warned that his removal from the position may value the ruling Phueu Thai Party its triumph in the upcoming election.
In the upcoming general election, he predicted Pheu Thai might face an uphill battle to win House votes in the northern districts.
He claimed that he had no other choice in the cabinet who had better symbolize Pheu Thai’s northern voters than himself because he had been removed from it.
Despite its unexpected defeat in last year’s election against the opposition Move Forward Party ( MFP ) in the North, Pheu Thai’s stronghold, the party managed to beat the MFP with up to 5.11 million votes in the Northeast.
He claimed that electorate MPs like him who worked tirelessly on the ground to establish and maintain a help base in the Northeast so that the list of candidates you capitalize on their popularity and be MPs.
One of the group’s former Isan politicians is Mr. Chaiya, a Pheu Thai MP for Nong Bua Lam Phu.
” Do n’t forget that Pheu Thai has been given a chance by Isan ( northeastern ) voters many times already. What can the group offer in exchange for their steadfast help, then? he said.
The Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry, according to Mr. Chaiya, is essential to addressing issues affecting poor producers in the Northeast, including a lack of land, water scarcity, and high production costs.
The only way for Pheu Thai to win back the Isan people’s hearts and minds in the upcoming election is to demonstrate its value and fulfill its election promises, he said.
When he was deputy agriculture minister, he laid out a strategy to grow the Northeast’s agricultural sector, with the high-speed teach task developing and connecting to Laos when it was finished. The Northeast had become Thailand’s hub for the agricultural industry, supplying goods to different nations via the rail link, thanks to the rail connectivity.
” What a pity. I not longer have the opportunity to create this plan a reality”, he said.
The MFP, Pheu Thai’s main rival in the North and Northeast, managed to defeat him in many of these parts, he noted, by only using a few campaign cars, advertisements, and nothing else.
