The People’s Party (PP) has revealed its three prime ministerial candidates and outlined a policy agenda centred on equality, transparency and modern governance, insisting it will not leave voters guessing about its choice for premier.
The announcement was made during the party’s “Recharge the People” event at the Future Forward Building in Ramkhamhaeng Soi 42 in Bangkok’s Hua Mak district, where party leader Natthapong Ruengpanyawut said the PP aims to offer a “clear, honest leadership team”, announcing himself, Sirikan Tansakun, deputy leader and head of policy, and Veerayooth Kanchoochart, deputy leader and head of strategy, as the party’s three PM nominees.
He said voters must not be left guessing who will become prime minister after the election, adding: “We do not believe in a lucky-draw PM. When you enter the voting booth, you must already know who is No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.”
Mr Natthaphong outlined the PP’s first policy package, focusing on tackling inequality, fixing gaps in public health and education, and modernising basic infrastructure. He cited one million out-of-school youths, high maternal mortality rates, labour shortages allegedly aggravated by conscription, and 18,000 annual road deaths — most involving motorcyclists — as signs of systemic neglect.
The party also pledged major land reform and a digital-driven push for government transparency, arguing that public trust must be restored before deeper reforms can succeed.
Mr Natthaphong said the party will operate as a team, not a single strongman: “Our promise is a Thailand that is equal, fair and ready for the future.”
In August last year, the Constitutional Court dissolved the Move Forward Party (MFP). The party’s prime ministerial candidate Pita Limjaroenrat was banned from politics for ten years.
Former MFP members quickly formed the People’s Party to continue their political agenda and Mr Natthaphong was selected as the new party leader. The party has the highest number of House representatives, 143, as MFP won the 2023 election.
