The opposition People's Party launched its 'Deal Laek Prathet' campaign, accusing major political figures of sacrificing national interests for personal benefit.
The campaign specifically alleges a deal facilitated the return of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra from exile and questions the impact of his daughter, Paetongtarn, becoming prime minister.
The party also criticizes Paetongtarn and the Pheu Thai Party for failing to deliver on significant campaign promises, such as the digital wallet scheme.
