Paetongtarn "Ung Ing" Shinawatra, a Pheu Thai Party prime ministerial candidate, said a documentary film about her political journey can be watched via social media on Saturday.
Ms Paetongtarn introduced the film The Candidate Paetongtarn to the media on Wednesday at 4.50pm just after giving a statement about the birth of her son.
The documentary is a special Pheu Thai project that shows Ms Paetongtarn's journey in politics beginning Oct 28, 2021, and how it's a transition from the legacy of her father, ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Much of the film's story is told through interviews with herself, key Pheu Thai figures, including party chief Dr Cholnan Srikaew, Phumtham Wechayachai and Nattawut Saikua, and her colleagues in the business sector.
The film will be broadcasted on Ms Paetongtarn's Facebook and YouTube accounts (youtube.com/@ingshinawatra) on Saturday at 7pm.
Reform credentials touted
Pol Gen Sereepisuth Temeeyaves, leader of Seri Ruam Thai Party, on Thursday urged voters who intend to support political parties claiming to be in a democratic camp not to forget to support his party when going to the polls.
"Don't forget the Seri Ruam Thai Party. The House and the government need a man named Sereepisuth, or else who would deal with the corrupt people?" he said during an election rally in Trat province on Thursday.
Pol Gen Sereepisuth claimed no one else dares to fight against drugs as he does or who has reformed the police as he has.
He said he could do more if elected into the House and joined a new government.
Aside from the voters who intend to vote for Pheu Thai Party to help it achieve its landslide victory goal, Pol Gen Sereepisuth also called on those so-called silent voters, in particular, to support his party.
He asked if his party doesn't win the election, who will ever lead a movement pushing to reform those independent organisations, particularly the Election Commission?
PM's status in South
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's popularity among voters in the southern region has skyrocketed, according to Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, chief strategist for United Thai Nation's (UTN) southern constituencies.
Speaking after the party campaign in the southern provinces, which Gen Prayut led, Mr Thanakorn said support for the prime minister is overwhelming.
Mr Thanakorn, also UTN deputy leader, said he is highly confident of a massive win in the region for the party.
He also urged voters nationwide to support the party, saying that without their votes, what Gen Prayut has done over the past eight years could be disrupted. Gen Prayut is seeking another term as prime minister under the party's banner.
Mr Thanakorn insisted that opinion poll findings do not equate to an election outcome after many indicated that Gen Prayut and the UTN are stuck in third or fourth place.
According to him, the party is preparing to release another set of election campaign messages to engage voters in the lead-up to the May 14 polls.
