Political Alliance Backs Candidate for Kalasin Provincial Governor Race
Pheu Thai party members campaigned in Kalasin on August 16 to support Chelomkwan Lortrakul's re-election bid as provincial governor, emphasizing party loyalty and her track record of addressing local concerns.
At Noen Yang Pracha Samakkhom School in Kalasin on August 16, Yodsanan Wongsawat, a Pheu Thai list MP, along with party colleagues and Nathawut Saiyakuea, took the stage to campaign for Chelomkwan Lortrakul, candidate number one for Kalasin Provincial Governor under the Pheu Thai banner.
Nathawut recalled that in 2022 he had helped campaign for Chelomkwan, who was elected governor. He then drew an analogy, saying a provincial governor should be like a pearl—something precious and beautiful—not a container left empty. He characterized Chelomkwan as a lifelong party member, tracing her lineage back through the Thai Rak Thai era and her father, former governor Yongyuth Lortrakul, and stressed that the party must rally behind its loyal members.
Nathawut emphasized that he had remained steadfast in his party allegiance through political upheaval, and urged Kalasin residents to stick with Chelomkwan. He noted that he recently attended a funeral in Ubon with former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who sent his regards to Kalasin and expressed hope to visit in the future.
Party member Yodsanan Wongsawat echoed the sentiment, saying that while the past few months had brought major changes, his commitment to Kalasin had never wavered. He stressed that the most important thing was for Kalasin to win and to elect a governor who understands grassroots problems, can work continuously, and can coordinate across all groups. He added that people cannot wait, and the elected governor must hit the ground running with clear policies on day one.
