The head of Kamnan Poh’s ‘group of seven’, or the candidates which he is
supporting in the upcoming elections, stated that the group is ready to hit
the campaign trail.
Sonthaya
Khunpluem, leader of Kamnan Poh’s ‘group of seven’, says his troops are
ready for the campaign trail.
Group leader, Sonthaya Khunpluem, says he has great confidence in the
potential of the 6 Chonburi MPs and that the new additional member will be
the jewel in their crown, being highly educated and having experience in
party politics.
Sontaya went on to say that there was absolutely no truth to the rumour that
the group had received 150,000,000 baht in support from the Chart Thai
Party. He added that his group had experience in the government and business
areas and certain erroneous news items had caused the ‘7’ quite a bit of
damage. He stated further that the group had brought in over ten thousand
million baht in revenue to the province.
Sontaya was asked about Prime Minister Banharn Silpa-archa’s policy
regarding no limit on the number of members in any certain party. Sontaya
said he agreed with the prime minister’s policy, and that the number of
members in any party was not the important issue, but rather their ability
to administer the country in a proper fashion.
There have been rumours that the group of Chonburi politicians were going to
move their allegiance to whatever party has the most chance of leading the
country’s next coalition, but the question remains unanswered.
