The second phase of the president’s 10, 000-baht flyer program, coming just weeks before statewide elections, will certainly be viewed as vote-buying by some people, People’s Party MP Pakornwut Udompipatskul said on Tuesday.
On Saturday, residents of 47 provinces will cast ballots for the presidents and members of the Provincial Administrative Organization ( PAO ). 3 million older people who are older than younger tend to vote more frequently than younger individuals did thanks to the state on Monday.
The schedule of the flyer to people over 60 was a concern, according to Mr. Pakornwut, who is also the main opposition whip.
He added,” We firmly believe that the general public understands that this government legislation was funded by citizens.”
He also emphasized the value of evaluating the effectiveness of the program to determine whether it results in the Pheu Thai Party’s stated goals of tangible financial improvement. More examination is needed after the show’s conclusion, he added.
In April, the second phase of the handbook is anticipated.
” It might not entirely been about vote-buying, though concerns are natural as it coincides with a big event, Songkran”, Mr Pakornwut.
However, the timing is definitely appropriate because, according to him, the intention is to encourage saving during the biggest getaway of the year, giving the economy a boost.
Nevertheless, Mr Pakornwut encouraged people to exercise their right to vote on Saturday.
” This election directly impacts your]local residents ] hometowns, with billions of baht in budgets at stake, as the next four years will shape the face of your province”, he said.
” We may continue to look out for any anomalies during the election, as we always do.”
The People’s Party has worked hard to expand its social network and win statewide elections. However, none of its prospects have been elected to top positions in previous PAO primaries.
However, Mr Pakornwut described the suggestions the community had been giving Women’s Party candidates as satisfying and encouraging.
He praised the group’s plan team’s tireless efforts to create a large motion.
” We are comfortable in our help base”, he said. ” While outcomes may vary across regions, we regard our companies, many of whom have strong voter foundations. Nevertheless, we believe we can go on”.
