A group of 12 political leaders led by veteran Chon Buri political leader and previous Pattaya mayor Sontaya Kunplome will object to the basic election under the Pheu Thai Celebration banner.
Their candidateship was validated on Wednesday by Pheu Thai leader Cholnan Srikaew, who stated the brand-new group would run in the constituency and party-list systems.
Dr Cholnan revealed self-confidence that Mr Sontaya, who belonged to the Thai Rak Thai Celebration prior to it was liquified, would clinch a landslide win in Chon Buri for the opposition Pheu Thai Celebration.
Mr Sontaya stated he chose to sign up with Pheu Thai since of its policy platforms, which deal with the requirements of all groups in society, and its decision to deal with the nation’s issues.
He was positive his group would win all 10 constituency seats in Chon Buri, stating they represent individuals of any age groups and have experience in both regional and nationwide politics.
Asked if his more youthful bro, Culture Minister Itthipol Kunplome, would join him at Pheu Thai, Mr Sontaya stated his bro would stay a cabinet minister till the federal government finishes its term.
” Our household has actually concurred that we’ll sign up with Pheu Thai, however those who have responsibilities to satisfy will continue. Mr Itthipol will continue working as the culture minister. If he chooses to problem, I do not believe it will trigger any issue in the cabinet,” he stated.
Mr Itthipol serves in the cabinet under the quota of the judgment Palang Pracharath Celebration (PPRP).

Mr Sontaya questioned Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha would protect a landslide triumph, stating the federal government under his management had actually stopped working to successfully take on corruption and financial variations over the previous 8 years.
” He can state they will, however whether that will materialise is another story and it depends upon individuals,” he stated.
Mr Sontaya’s group is anticipated to deal with strong competitors from political leaders led by Labour Minister Suchart Chomklin who just recently moved from the PPRP to the United Thai Country (UTN) Celebration.
Mr Suchart was supposedly presented to politics in the eastern province by the prominent Kunplome household, called ‘Restriction Yai’ (Big Home), beginning in 2011. At the 2019 surveys, Mr Suchart won a constituency seat, however Mr Itthipol was beat in a various constituency.
Reports of departments emerging in between them started flowing early in 2015, with Mr Suchart being priced quote as stating he was prepared to challenge the Kunplome household in all constituencies in Chon Buri.
