Chumphon: Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, campaigned vigorously in Chumphon Province, urging residents to support his party in the upcoming elections. During his visit, he expressed enthusiasm for the return of the “Half-Price” scheme, while emphasizing his personal connection to the province despite being married to someone from neighboring Ranong.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Anutin, accompanied by Ms. Thanon Nirami and other party officials, was warmly received at Chumphon Airport by local parliamentary candidates and supporters. Former Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Ms. Mananya Thaiseth, and Mr. Chumphol Chulsai were among those present. The enthusiastic crowd cheered for candidate number 37, the Bhumjaithai Party’s candidate number, with many taking photos and interacting closely with Mr. Anutin.
The campaign trail led Mr. Anutin to the Tha Sae Subdistrict Municipal Market, where he endorsed Mr. Kittisak Phromrat, the candidate for Chumphon Constituency 2. The visit was met with loud cheers from market vendors and residents who expressed their support by offering flowers and taking photos with the party leader. Mr. Anutin also received amulets from supporters, which he kept as a token of goodwill.
Addressing the crowd from his campaign vehicle, Mr. Anutin thanked the residents for their warm reception, marking his first visit to Tha Sae District. He encouraged voters to participate in the election on February 8th and highlighted the strong support for Bhumjaithai Party candidates in Chumphon. Mr. Anutin assured the public of the continuation of welfare programs under his party’s leadership, including the much-anticipated second phase of the “Half-Price” scheme.
