Somchai' points out that Pheu Thai won by a landslide in the election of the president of the Pathum Thani Provincial Administrative Organization, which is considered a loss after using both the party name and important figures to help in the area. He sees 'Thaksin' as a long-time absentee from politics, using many privileges to reduce Pheu Thai's popularity. Mr. Somchai Srisutthiyakorn, former Election Commissioner, said about the results of the election of the president of the Pathum Thani Provincial Administrative Organization that if we look at the votes that Mr. Chan Phuangphet, a candidate from the Pheu Thai Party, was able to defeat Pol. Gen. Kamron Wittoopkrachang by only a few votes, we cannot imagine that the election of the president of the Provincial Administrative Organization is different from the election of MPs because the election of the Provincial Administrative Organization, the network planning, relies on local politicians in each area to score points. The winning results do not indicate whether the next election of MPs will win the election or not because the MPs will be elected in each district. Mr. Somchai said that in the past PAO elections, the winning side used the names of political parties and important party figures to help gain points, but the losers ran as independents. Therefore, even if they won the election but used the names of political parties and important party figures to help, he personally thought that they still lost. Therefore, it was only a close call. As for whether to file a complaint about election fraud, it depends on whether the competitors will file a complaint or not. Mr. Somchai believes that local elections involve a lot of money and influence, but whether the EC will take serious action in giving yellow or orange cards to election winners is another matter. As for the narrow win-loss result, does it reflect the declining popularity of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra? Mr. Somchai believes that Mr. Thaksin has been absent from politics for a long time. Many of his co mebacks have used processes that people generally feel are using privileges in many matters, causing his popularity to decrease. Even though he has tried to travel and create various political impacts, he personally thinks that the results have not been as good as they should be. In this matter, if Mr. Thaksin and the Pheu Thai Party need to go back and evaluate whether, if they are going to do politics at the national level to make the Pheu Thai Party popular again, the current methods are really useful or not.
