Phuket: "Ploy Talay" admits to moving to the Bhumjaithai Party due to internal problems with the Democrat Party. Ploythale admitted her decision to join Bhumjaithai was due to internal problems with the Democrat Party, pointing out that in order to work in politics, the organization must be strong and able to address the concerns of the people.
According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Ploythale Laksamisangchan, former executive member and deputy spokesperson for the Democrat Party, revealed after being introduced as a potential Phuket MP candidate for the Bhumjaithai Party that her decision to join the party began when she was running for election as a member of the Wichit Subdistrict Municipality in Mueang Phuket District, Phuket Province. She witnessed the party's rapid progress during the COVID-19 outbreak, including vaccine distribution and the rapid establishment of the Phuket Sandbox, particularly in Phuket, a tourist province. She was impressed by the party's performance during that period, which led her to decide to join.
When asked if internal issues within the Democrat Party were a factor in her transfer to the Bhumjaithai Party, Ms. Ploythale admitted that it was partly true. To work in politics, the organization must be strong. Her decision to continue working for the people in the area required an organization that could support and respond to the people's needs in solving various problems. Therefore, the Bhumjaithai Party was the solution, offering her an alternative solution to address the hardships of the local people.
Regarding the response from the local people, Ms. Ploythale said that it was mixed, but she was confident in her decision. Many people still supported her, regardless of which party she belonged to.
Mr. Wiwat Jindapol, a former Phuket Provincial Council member, stated that he previously ran for MP under the Bhumjaithai Party but was not elected. He is fully committed to contesting the election this time and is confident in the Party's policies, particularly those related to transportation. He believes Phuket Province desperately needs to address its transportation issues, and Mr. Pipat Ratchakitprakarn is fully prepared as Minister of Transport to push for solutions for Phuket residents and the southern region.
Mr. Sanakorn Kisin also stated that his decision to contest the next election was supported by several senior officials. He has personally worked extensively in local affairs in Phuket and has recognized the various problems that need addressing. He also noted that the Bhumjaithai Party's policies address the needs of the people. Therefore, party leaders have decided to have them contest the next election to advance their policies. He believes that if these three individuals are elected representatives, they will be able to drive further development in Phuket.
