Today (Jan 27) 10:00 AM At Government House, Captain Thammanat Phromphao, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, and the Kla Tham Party's prime ministerial candidate, spoke about his recent campaigning efforts. He stated that campaigning was tiring, with visits to many provinces, and the public response was positive. However, he added that the vote count would be assessed on February 8th.
Regarding the possibility of working with the People's Party, Captain Thammanat said that he is currently focused on himself, not on others. He has clear principles and doesn't change his mind often. He stated that any party whose intention is to amend Chapters 1 and 2 of the Constitution will not support them. He added that they don't need to demand that others declare their stance, as the Kla Tham Partyhas hads had a clear and unwavering position since entering politics. He stressed that anything that interferes with the pillars of the nation will not be tolerated. We absolutely do not want the military involved in politics. The three main pillars of Tha—nation,on, religion, and tmonarchy—areare paramount. We do not want the military to interfere in politics. When political factions don't communicate with each other and constantly quarrel, ultimately, a mediator is needed, causing damage to the country. Regarding the rhetoric about the military's purp—sayinging it will only backf—I'mI'm not accusing anyone specifically, but let's wait and see. The important thing is to study history and teach our children about Thai history. We have survived because of the military, regardless of the era. Even developed countries have had armies; technological advancements may have changed, but a military has always been necessary.
Concerning the questions about the qualifications of our party's parliamentary candidates, Captain Thamanat said that when our party faces criticism, we must examine ourselves. Every candidate must assess whether they meet the qualifications and are ready to run for election as a Member of Parliament. If they are nready or do not meet the regulations and laws set by the Election Commission (EC), they should blame themselves, not others. If they have flaws, they must address them. If they are ineligible to run, they must accept it. We must prioritize self-reflection. We have learned many lessons, unlike others who, when scrutinized, blame others instead of themselves.
