Major political parties held their final campaign rallies across Bangkok on Friday, concluding their efforts before Thailand's general election on Sunday.
Pheu Thai Party's rally at Impact Arena featured prime ministerial candidate Paetongtarn Shinawatra, returning after childbirth, emphasizing a "landslide" victory.
Other key parties, including Palang Pracharath (led by Prawit Wongsuwan), Move Forward (led by Pita Limjaroenrat), and United Thai Nation (led by incumbent PM Prayuth Chan-o-cha), also staged grand rallies at various Bangkok venues.
These final events allowed party leaders to make their last appeals to voters, presenting their visions and slogans before the campaign blackout period.
