Suriya Confident Pheu Thai Will Take First Place, Challenges Rival Party Supporters

On February 6, 2024, at Thep Hasadin Field, Suriya Jurungreungkit, the Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidate, spoke as the election director. He acknowledged the challenges of politics, noting the exhaustion and disappointment, but emphasized their continued commitment. 'I'm confident we'll come in first,' Suriya stated. 'Many polls and analysts predict us third, but it's strange that the first and second-place parties and their supporters seem unsettled. They keep insisting there are only two parties and constantly attack us day and night - which really means they're afraid we'll take first place.' Suriya further asserted that Pheu Thai has comprehensive experience as a single-party government, coalition government, and opposition. He emphasized their detailed policy approach and urged voters to support Pheu Thai to secure 200 seats. 'After 25 years in politics, I'm requesting a scientist become prime minister. We've had business leaders and military leaders before. This time, can we choose a scientist? I ask you to select Yossanan and vote Pheu Thai as number one,' he concluded.
