The Bhumjaithai Party aims to make inroads in Bangkok in Sunday's election after failing to win a seat in the last general election in 2019 despite fielding 28 candidates in a total of 30 constituencies.
The party says it has learnt from its last failure in the capital, which it said was due to not having a political stronghold there. To solve this, the party has invited former members of the Palang Pracharath Party, and others, led by Buddhipongse Punnakanta, the party's election director for Bangkok, to run in the general election campaign in Bangkok.
