People's Party Campaigns for Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization Election
Key figures from the People's Party, including Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, have launched a campaign for Decharat Sukkamnerd in the upcoming Nonthaburi PAO election.
On August 29, 2026, senior figures from the People's Party, including party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut and Progressive Movement Foundation chairman Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, visited Nonthaburi province to support Decharat Sukkamnerd, the party's candidate for the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) president. The election is scheduled for September 20, 2026.
During the meeting at the Bang Rak Phatthana Municipality hall, Natthaphong expressed gratitude to Nonthaburi residents for their consistent support of the party and its predecessor, the Move Forward Party, noting that the province has elected party-affiliated MPs in the last two general elections. Thanathorn urged local voters to participate in the upcoming election, setting a target of over 60% voter turnout to ensure a strong mandate for local governance.
Addressing rumors that the party is attempting to dominate local politics in the province, Natthaphong clarified that their focus remains on improving the future and quality of life for Nonthaburi residents. For residents and expatriates living in the area, this election is significant as the PAO president oversees local infrastructure, public services, and regional development projects that directly impact daily life. While the party is actively campaigning, the final outcome remains to be determined by the voters on September 20. Observers will be watching to see if the party's national popularity translates into a victory for their local candidate.
