Democrat and Matubhum candidates in the far South say the warm welcome given to Pheu Thai's Yingluck Shinawatra during her election campaign trip to the region will not affect support for their parties’ policies.
Phaisal Toyip, the Matubhum candidate in Narathiwat’s Constituency 1, said on Wednesday that he was not worried about Ms Yingluck’s apparent popularity during election meetings. Her promise to set up a special administrative zone in the three southernmost border provinces, if in government, was aimed only at pleasing a certain group of people, Mr Phaisal said.
The majority of people in the region saw no benefit from this idea, he said.
Matubhum candidates had worked closely with local constituents for years, working on solutions for the problems in the region.
He believed Ms Yingluck’s campaign tour would have no impact on southern voters’ support for his party.
He really wanted the Pheu Thai top party-list candidate to regularly visit southern constituencies, so she would learn more about their real problems and needs.
The Democrat candidate for Narathiwat’s Constituency 2, Surachet Wae-arsae, was similarly confident. He said Ms Yingluck’s campaign tour in the region would not shake his party’s voter support. Most residents were fully aware what direction the country should take after the July 3 election, he said.
