Anutin Declares Thailand Is Not a Training Ground or Trial Period for Newcomers

Today (6 Feb) 4:00 PM at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, the Bhumjaithai Party, led by Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul, as the party leader, along with Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkaew (as the Prime Minister candidate), Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Ekniti Nitithanpraphas (as a campaign assistant), and Commerce Minister Supajee Suthamphan (as a campaign assistant), held a major rally to conclude their election campaign under the theme "Choose Bhumjaithai Party, Get Professionals." "Transforming the Economy, Overcoming the Global Crisis"

In his speech, Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul said, "Greetings to those who have faith in the Bhumjaithai Party. As the leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, I must say I have never been more excited than today. I hope that in a few days we will celebrate the Bhumjaithai Party's victory together. The Bhumjaithai Party has served the country, the nation, and the people for 17 years. We know that this year has been the most challenging of the past 17 years because this year is the game of becoming the prime minister."

Mr. Anutin continued, "Therefore, I have had to adjust my approach so that all Thais can hear that we are good enough and worthy to be a major political party that can be a refuge for the Thai people. I believe that the people clearly see that the Bhumjaithai Party has grown continuously since I became the party leader almost 15 years ago. The Bhumjaithai Party has never gotten smaller; it has only grown larger, doubling in size with each election. The only exception is this time, when it will be more than twice as large. Our efforts to develop ourselves and elevate the Bhumjaithai Party's work in terms of policy, mindset, practices, and the placement of personnel to govern the country are to show the Thai people that the Bhumjaithai Party is ready to lead and bring about change and development in our home, which is Thailand." "Let's create a home where everyone can be proud together."

Mr. Anutin further stated that today, the Bhumjaithai Party is meeting with the people once again to present a summary of what they have accomplished together across the country on this platform, seeking the support and trust of the people to elect the Bhumjaithai Party on 8 Feb. Mr. Sihasak, Mr. Ekniti, and Ms. Supajee presented what the Bhumjaithai Party will do once it receives the people's trust. As the party leader, I must ask whether the people are satisfied, whether they have done their homework well, and whether they have disappointed us in any way. Has this government instilled pride in the Thai people by safeguarding the independence and sovereignty of the nation?

"This is what the Bhumjaithai Party has worked hard to do to build confidence among the Thai people. We've had a four-month trial period; now let's work for another four years. Before we can change the country, we must change ourselves first. Today, the Bhumjaithai Party leader is here to tell the people that the Bhumjaithai Party is definitely not the same as before. What has changed significantly is our way of thinking and our way of working. Some people said that the Bhumjaithai Party is just a 'big family' party; I don't disagree, but they are wrong. They only thought that 'big family' parties would help people." "We take care of the people in the local areas, and that's it. We don't think in terms of structure, but these three have proven that the Bhumjaithai Party's structure, designed for Thailand, is stronger than 50 layers of reinforced concrete. The truth is, we regularly take care of our constituents in their areas without fail. Our MPs will never be lords or masters. Every candidate has a duty to care for the villagers in every aspect of their daily lives. We are with the people all the time and are proud to be known as the 'Big House Party,'" Mr. Anutin said.

Mr. Anutin further stated that past populist policies are ineffective, and he believes that policies focused solely on distributing money will harm Thailand in the long run. These policies were implemented only for short-term political gain and advantage. Ultimately, the ones who will pay the price are the innocent Thai people. If all parties continue to present populist policies that prioritize spending over income generation and creating sustainable opportunities for the country and its people, Thailand will face increasing financial and fiscal problems, leading to a point of no return. Therefore, the Bhumjaithai Party focuses on presenting policies that create opportunities for the people, increase their income, and provide greater job security. The Bhumjaithai Party believes in the theory of providing a fishing rod for people to fish, not giving them fish. "Exercising your right to vote on 8 Feb, our decision is based on factors that I ask the public to kindly consider: the current and future situation of Thailand, which is being surrounded and pressured in a world full of competition. If you choose competent, professional managers with knowledge, experience, readiness, and a proven track record of success, the chances of them leading Thailand to continued success will be far greater than those without such experience.

“Our Thailand is not a training ground or a testing ground for newcomers who have never worked at the national level before. Will we entrust the future of our country and our future to newcomers or to professionals who are ready? Today, in this election, the Bhumjaithai Party is ready to present professionals for your consideration. The inclusion of new executives, new personnel, and new people in the Bhumjaithai Party—from both academic and political sectors—in this election has significantly changed the way we think and work within the Bhumjaithai Party. We have..."

The more we think, the broader we become, and the bigger we think. Today, Thailand cannot wait, and Thailand cannot take any more risks. When the Bhumjaithai Party comes into power, Thailand will not risk falling behind on the global stage, nor will it risk returning to the cycle of conflict. It will not risk having inexperienced leaders, nor will it risk corruption, nor will it risk losing its sovereignty," said Mr. Anutin.

Mr. Anutin continued, "Respected Thai citizens, choose the Bhumjaithai Party. Thailand will not have to take risks. Not everyone can govern. Any party can write policies, but how many can actually implement them? The Bhumjaithai Party has proven that we keep our word. We have done what we said, and we can do it. After the election on 8 Feb, a government that can achieve this will be one with sufficient power in parliament, capable administrators who can coordinate in all directions, many friends and no enemies, and the ability to build credibility. Such a government will smoothly manage both political and civil servants and build trust with the international community. I hereby declare to everyone that your Bhumjaithai Party possesses all these qualities. Today, Thai people cannot afford to quarrel amongst themselves anymore. Thailand cannot bear any more risks. If you choose the Bhumjaithai Party, Thailand will not face these risks." Thailand needs cooperation, unity, and coordinated work from all parties, and I will do my utmost with my team to make this happen for our country.

Mr. Anutin further stated that the Bhumjaithai Party has helped us reclaim Thai land that was invaded and occupied for 10 years. Today, the ceasefire agreement made by the government focuses on the conditions of the situation: whoever is where must stay, and no further encroachment is allowed. Furthermore, there's no need to worry about a third round of conflict that would prevent the election; I confirm that the election will definitely take place the day after tomorrow. The government is not complacent; we have prepared to deal with all situations. I urge everyone to go out and vote in large numbers to ensure a smooth election and a clean victory, a source of pride after the election. Please trust Mr. Anutin and trust the Bhumjaithai Party on this matter. Please vote for number 37 so that the Bhumjaithai government can continue to protect the nation's sovereignty and preserve Thai territory. Choose the Bhumjaithai Party, and no country will be able to invade Thailand again. Do you want a government that Cambodia fears, or a government that fears Cambodia? If you want the former, choose the Bhumjaithai Party, number 37.

Mr. Anutin concluded by saying, "Since it's almost over, I have some good news to announce here." If the Bhumjaithai Party returns to power, with Anutin Charnvirakul as Prime Minister, Sihasak Phuangketkaew as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Supajee Suthamphan as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce, and Ekniti Nitithanpraphas as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, I will claim these ministries for myself; no one else will get them. I am confident that if I become Prime Minister, I will get all four positions. And if I am in power, my government will immediately revoke the   MOU2544. There will be no 50-50 split, no half-and-half. This isn't a 50-50 split between Thais and Cambodians. I can guarantee that Thailand will not suffer any disadvantage or lose territory under the Bhumjaithai Party government on February 8, 2026. I promise, and my promise is trustworthy. I promise to make Thais proud of this election; it's an election for the survival and progress of all of us. The Bhumjaithai Party will strive to create benefits and lead Thailand towards sustainable stability. On 8 Feb , vote for the Bhumjaithai Party, number 37, and vote for our MPs in your respective districts. Vote enough to lead Thailand forward. Escape political instability, conflict, economic threats, and the security threats that have plagued the country for so long. Choosing the Bhumjaithai Party is not a waste of time or opportunity. The Bhumjaithai Party is comprised of professionals strong in both politics and public administration, ready to serve you. Choose the Bhumjaithai Party to get loyal servants of the people.
