Ratchaburi, "Chaiwat" joins hands with "Chairat Sak-Isarapong" to apply for the election of the president of the Ratchaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, confident that the people of Ratchaburi want change - fed up with big-house politics, leading the Progressive Movement to win for sure. On July 30, 2024 at the Ratchaburi Provincial Gymnasium, Mueang District, Ratchaburi Province, Mr. Chaithawat Tulathan, leader of the Move Forward Party, joined in observing and witnessing the candidacy for the Ratchaburi Provincial Administrative Organization President and the drawing of the candidate number of Mr. Chairat Sak Isarapong, a candidate for the Ratchaburi Provincial Administrative Organization President of the Move Forward Party, which will be held on September 1, 2014. Chaithawat and Chairat gave interviews to the media before joining the application process. Chaithawat stated that the Move Forward Party wants to win the PAO election this time and is confident that the Move Forward Party will be t rusted by the people of Ratchaburi to manage the PAO. We are confident because the PAO election that will take place ahead of schedule, the people of Ratchaburi see and know well that it is politics without the people in the equation. The former PAO president announced his resignation and then applied again just to use political techniques to seize an advantage. He did not make a decision based on the people's interests, did not respect the people, and made the people unacceptable. In addition, Ratchaburi people are fed up and cannot stand the unchanging nature of Ratchaburi. Both national and local politics are monopolized and controlled by a few big families, causing the province that should have potential to stagnate. Both national and local politics do not meet the needs of Ratchaburi people, causing Ratchaburi people to want to see change and will trust the Move Forward Party that works with determination, ability, policies and vision, not putting personal interests first, but putting the people first i n the end. Chaiwat continued that even though this election will not be easy because it is a clash between the Move Forward Party and all the big houses that have come together to resist change, he is confident that the people of Ratchaburi are ready and the Move Forward Party itself is ready, both in preparing policies to present to the people, whether it is infrastructure or agriculture, which lacks a role in local politics to support, including policies to develop water resources and tourism, including solving problems in public health, education, etc. The Move Forward Party is confident that the party's policy team, which works closely with the central and local governments, is ready to push and manage these policies. Moreover, if Ratchaburi can be changed this time, the local politics that continue to be fought will respond to the people's needs even more. Although in the past general election, the Move Forward Party did not receive enough votes to win the constituency MPs, the party-list votes came in first place. This is the basis that Ratchaburi is ready to support the Move Forward Party. When reporters asked whether the ruling on the dissolution of the Move Forward Party on August 7, 2024 would affect this election, Chaithawat said it would not affect anything and the campaign would continue because we believe that no matter what the verdict is, the people of Ratchaburi still want change as before. In addition, the local elections do not require candidates to belong to a party. The party's core members and MPs have already planned to come and help campaign fully as the Move Forward Party's first official PAO election. The reporter asked further whether this election was a test run. Chaithawat said that even though this election took place ahead of schedule, the Move Forward Party did not field a candidate just for fun. They fielded the candidate because they had been prepared from the beginning. Furthermore, Ratchaburi is a province with a potential team. When the election took place without the peopl e in the equation, but because of the desire to seize political advantage, the Move Forward Party had to field a candidate even more, not to field a candidate, but to prove that the people of Ratchaburi did not want to stay in the same place. This was an opportunity for the people of Ratchaburi to teach them a lesson about old-fashioned politics. The Move Forward Party wanted to come in and manage to create change, and they were confident that the candidate for the Provincial Administrative Organization president of the Move Forward Party was ready. He was born in Ratchaburi, grew up, studied, and did business in Ratchaburi. He understood the pain and needs of Ratchaburi, which has many potentials but has remained stagnant for a long time. Chairat said that he is determined to change Ratchaburi towards a better future. Fighting with the big old politics is not easy. Even though the old politics that want to gain an advantage will leave only 30 days to do their homework, he and his team are ready to approach the people of Ratchaburi to understand the policies that have been thought of for the people of Ratchaburi. Even though there is little time, he will work hard to change Ratchaburi from being frozen by the old politics for a long time. After giving an interview to the media, Chairat entered the application process and drew a candidate number, and drew number 1. Then, he traveled with the leader of the Move Forward Party to join the campaign activity by parading cars and walking to distribute public relations leaflets around Ratchaburi city, amidst a response from the people and commuters on both sides of the road.
