Bangkok, Former Move Forward Party prepares to reveal new party on August 9, confident it will go smoothly and will definitely have an executive board. Sirikanya insists there is no need to switch sides to be a leader in case a political accident occurs. She points out that the executive board must have solid principles and be able to make decisions on behalf of party members on important matters. She accepts that popularity is a risk, but must be able to do more than before. Pita says that the new party’s executive board must be brave.
Ms. Sirikanya Tansakul, former deputy leader of the Move Forward Party and former MP of the Move Forward Party, talked about the preparation of the announcement of the establishment of a new party tomorrow (9 August) that there will be an internal meeting to cast votes and elect a new executive committee. She is confident that it will go smoothly and well, and that there will be members who will continue together. As for what the party name will be, how many syllables it will
have, and who the leader will be, please wait and listen tomorrow.
As for the news that no one dares to become a party executive because if the party is dissolved, they will lose their political rights, Ms. Sirikanya said that it is something that can be thought about, but tomorrow there will be clarity on how many people will be on the party executive committee and who they will be. Please wait for the results of tomorrow’s meeting.
As for the need to switch individuals, if a political accident occurs and the party is dissolved in the future, it may result in insufficient people to carry out political activities. Ms. Sirikanya stated that it certainly will not reach that point, but what must be considered is the party executive committee, which should have discretion and ideology, with solid principles to make decisions on behalf of party members in important matters of the party. Therefore, the issue of switching individuals’ teeth is not taken into consideration.
As for concerns about the popularity of
the new party leaders, how has it been assessed? Ms. Sirikanya said that it is a matter of possible future risks. However, if we look from the Future Forward era to the Move Forward Party era, we have also been criticized and disparaged. However, we have been able to accumulate popularity until we became the party that won the election in 2023, which should be proof. We will have to wait and see for a long time. We cannot decide today. However, no matter what the new party is, it will be more of a political institution than before. Whether there is Mr. Pita or not, we must maintain our popularity until the next election and we must do more than before.
While Mr. Pita Limjaroenrat, former advisor to the party leader and former MP of the Move Forward Party, talked about the issue of no one daring to become a party executive, saying that we have to ask about the system for people to come up and manage a political party, to be representatives of the people. What kind of system makes people not dare to become par
ty executives? Therefore, those who will become leaders must be brave. What kind of system should it be? As for what people in the former Move Forward Party are talking about, it is probably more like a joke. It is not serious. Because when the time comes, everyone will have to step up so that the new party can continue to move forward. To create confidence in the people But it is their business. They may have different opinions from themselves. Which I am not involved in anymore. It is a matter of management.
However, if compared to my own era, since the future came to be Move Forward, when there was a meeting, there was a process. To answer clearly who the executive committee was, there had to be a process to discuss internally before answering outside. As for what will happen from Move Forward, we have to wait and see on August 9, which will probably look at the ability of management, not whether they will be MPs or not. As for the results, it depends on the friends.
Mr. Pita Nam said that he has not dis
appeared anywhere because the people who are still here are the ones who supported me when I was the leader. Now, he still supports them as permitted by law.
‘Trend is not the only thing that matters in politics. Policies, personnel, honesty, consistency in work are more important than trends. The big picture is important because trends alone cannot measure much. I am not worried about trends and polls. Therefore, I am still confident that my friends will continue to do a good job. When you look back, I will always be there,’ said Mr. Pita.
