Suttipong is accused of threatening to oppose Phuket's bid to host "Specialised Expo 2028," claiming the province is unqualified due to environmental issues.
Local leaders, including the Phuket Lawyers Association president, condemned Suttipong's remarks, defending Phuket's reputation for good governance and significant tourist revenue.
Move Forward Party candidates and Chulalongkorn University's student club are demanding Suttipong's dismissal or resignation due to these and previous controversial remarks.
