People’s Party Confirms Plans to Contest Nonthaburi PAO Election

On August 14, 2026, Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, leader of the People’s Party (PP), announced at the Parliament that the party intends to contest the upcoming Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) presidential election. Speaking to the media, Natthaphong confirmed that the party will not be re-nominating the previous candidate, citing personal limitations and readiness issues that affected the previous campaign.

While the party has already approached a potential candidate, Natthaphong declined to disclose their identity, stating that they are currently awaiting a formal acceptance. He expressed confidence that the new nominee will be the strongest possible candidate for the province. When asked about the political landscape in Nonthaburi—where the party currently holds all parliamentary seats—Natthaphong emphasized that the party remains focused on presenting the best possible choice to the voters rather than being influenced by the strategies of rival political groups.

For residents and those living in the Nonthaburi area, this development signals an active shift in local political campaigning. While the party has confirmed its participation, the specific identity of the candidate and the official timeline for the election remain to be confirmed. Residents should monitor local news for further updates as the party finalizes its selection process.
