Chiang Mai: The elections for the provincial administrative organization presidents in several provinces are now in their final stages, particularly in Chiang Mai, where the political prestige of the Pheu Thai Party and the Prachachon Party is at stake. Leaders from both parties have been actively campaigning in the region, each expressing confidence in securing a win. A key issue dominating their campaigns is the toxic smog problem, a significant concern for the residents of Chiang Mai.
According to Thai News Agency, both parties have put forward their strategies to address the environmental crisis. The Pheu Thai Party is advocating for comprehensive measures that include stricter regulations on industrial emissions and increased funding for air quality monitoring. Meanwhile, the Prachachon Party emphasizes community-based initiatives and the promotion of green technologies to mitigate the impact of toxic dust.
As the election date approaches, voters are keenly observing how each party plans to tackle the smog issue, which has persisted for years. The outcome of this election could not only determine the political landscape in Chiang Mai but also set a precedent for environmental policies in the region.
