Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, reported on Sunday that the ambassador had written to him asking that the Thai atmosphere force purchase F-16 Block 70 fighter jets, but that many details had not been discussed, including his demand for mutual and similar investment in Thailand.

The primary minister said the US embassy, Robert Godec, wrote to him to beg the air pressure to buy F- 16 Block 70 fighter jets&nbsp, from the US company Lockheed Martin.

Because the air force had been using F-16 Block 35 jets for a long time, Mr. Srettha claimed to have spoken with ACM Panpakdee Patanakul, the weather force’s director, on numerous occasions about the project to get fresh fighter jets.

According to Mr. Srettha, he advised the air pressure chief to decide which fighter jets should be selected based on the 10-year air pressure development plan and his “offset policy,” which required that the provider invest in Thailand at the same rate as the purchase price.

The US president’s call was made as Sweden was offering to sell its SAAB Gripen fighter jets&nbsp, to the atmosphere power. &nbsp,

PATHUM THANI: On Sunday, the Pathum Thani provincial administrative organization ( PAO ) elected its president, and observers were expecting the results to show how popular former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and the ruling Pheu Thai Party are.

Two of the main prospects are past Pathum Thani PAO leader Chan Puangpetch&nbsp, and his son Pol Lt Gen Kamronwit Toopkrajang.

Prior to 2020, Mr. Chan served as Pathum Thani PAO leader three times before being defeated by Pol Lt Gen Kamronwit, a past Bangkok police commissioner who at the moment had received help from Pheu Thai.

At Watpangiw School in Sam Khok area on Sunday night, Mr. Chan, who is now receiving support from Thaksin and the Pheu Thai Party led by Thaksin’s child Paetongtarn, cast his vote. He arrived together with his three sons.

In a public garden in the Thanyaburi area, Pol Lt Gen Kamronwit exercised his election rights in the same way.

In Pathum Thani, there are 949, 415 ready voters, and the results were anticipated on Sunday nights.

Prior to the PAO vote, political figures noted that Thaksin and Pheu Thai leaders had made appearances in Pathum Thani as part of the Pheu Thai plan. The descendant of Thaksin’s Thai Rak Thai party lost most House seats in the province to the Move Forward Party ( MFP ) in the May 14, 2023 general election.

MFP won the election, but the junta-appointed Senate prevented the MFP from assuming leadership, creating a coalition government under the leadership of Pheu Thai and factions affiliated with the defense. &nbsp,

But, polls indicate that more people now back the MFP and its key candidate for prime minister’s office than they did at the previous election. In addition, Pheu Thai’s reputation and its candidates for prime minister have been greatly diminished.

According to a poll conducted by a Nida surveys, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has struggled to win over most voters as he continues to make regional and national visits to fix problems and encourage Thailand.

The poll released on Sunday&nbsp, showed only 12.85 % of voters supported the prime minister, a drop from 17.75 % in the previous survey. The daughter of convicted former prime minister Thaksin, who is on parole, saw her popularity decrease to 4.85 % from 6 %.

Every quarter, the National Institute of Development Administration conducts a review of the electorate’s favorite political figures. The next survey was released at the end of March.

In the study, the prime minister’s followers claimed that Mr. Srettha was a steadfast decision-maker who was determined to solve their issues. Ms Paetongtarn was praised for her vision, authority, knowledge and understanding of issues in the country.

This weekend, the prime minister will be in the north to address people ‘ issues. Only a few weeks after his same-week-long visit to northern counties, the journey was made.

In response to criticism, he has reduced his outside travels, but he claimed some were required to promote Thailand to investors and traders.

With 45.50 % of the vote, which is a little increase from the previous quarter poll, Pita Limjaroenrat, the party’s general advisor, still held the position of being the party’s leader over all candidates for prime minister.

The United Thai National Party leader, Pirapan Salirathavibhaga, saw his popularity almost double to 6.85 % from 3.5 %, which was the big winner.

The sampled citizens said they admired Mr. Pita’s social philosophy and that they thought he had broadened his knowledge base. They supported Mr Pirapan for his legitimacy, saying he was fresh and fair.

Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan of the Thai Sang Thai Party and Bhumjaithai head Anutin Chanvirakul were other possible candidates for excellent minister. However, some ‘ recognition was behind them.

The voter survey found that 20 % of the voters still did not believe any candidate was qualified to lead the state, which is the same proportion as the previous review.

Move Forward had the highest turnout among its members, 49.20 %, a slight increase from three months prior, while Pheu Thai dropped by five percentage points to 16.85 % from 22.10 %, which is higher than that.

2, 000 incomprehensible voters were surveyed by the poll’s Sunday survey between June 14 and June 18
