Bangkok: Yotsanu Wongsawat, the Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidate, has dismissed allegations that the Prime Minister is being specifically targeted, describing the rhetoric as accusatory. Yotsanu emphasized the need for the public to decide on right and wrong, asserting that he is not attacking anyone and urging all parties to adhere to the law.
According to Thai News Agency, Yotsanu criticized the rhetoric used by some political parties to label those not aligning publicly with any other party as having "shady" or "hidden agendas." He stressed that such accusations are incorrect and that politics should serve the people by listening to their voices. He highlighted that judging whether someone is "shady" is up to the people and underscored the importance of looking at policies and future prospects to determine which party can deliver effectively.
Yotsanu reaffirmed the Pheu Thai Party's commitment to campaigning actively and clarified that they are not attacking others but are being criticized for their efforts to support farmers. He insisted that they are not concerned with external opinions and will focus on moving forward while listening to the people.
Addressing analyses that suggest the Prime Minister has been predetermined, Yotsanu stated, "No, there's no way. No one could be that accurate. Because we're in the industry, we can see that there's no predetermined target. We must respect the public."
When questioned about the belief that this election involves popularity, money, and power, Yotsanu affirmed that everyone must abide by the law. He emphasized that the Election Commission has legal frameworks, and the Pheu Thai Party has consistently complied with all legal provisions. He concluded that irrespective of current events, the focus remains on delivering their policies.
