People’s Party faces uncertain prospects in Chiang Mai local election, says Pita

11 Sept 04:20 Key points summarised by AI

Pita Limjaroenrat warns the People's Party against complacency in the upcoming Chiang Mai local election, despite its predecessor (Move Forward) winning seven parliamentary seats in the 2023 general election.
He stresses that Chiang Mai's political landscape differs significantly between local and national elections, citing recent local election losses in other provinces as a cautionary tale.
Pita is actively campaigning for Panart Chairat, the People's Party candidate for Chiang Mai Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO) chief, in a province historically dominated by the Pheu Thai Party.
