Two brothers hoping to win seats in parliament in
July’s election campaigned in Naklua late last month.
Panawatchanan and Jakkrit Kraimat stumped in Chonburi
Zone 6 May 26, promoting the record and platform of their Democrat
Party. Panawatchanan is running as a general party-slate candidate while
the younger Jakkrit would represent the district if elected.
The candidates ticked off the Democrats’ election
pledges of a 25 percent increase in the minimum wage, enhanced drug
suppression, low-interest education loans and farmer supports. Their
message of “politics for the people” was met with enthusiasm by
supporters.
Jakkrit touted the record of party leader Abhisit
Vejjajiva, saying the prime minister and Democrats have worked for the
people over the past two years with programs offering free primary
education, stipends for the elderly and farm guarantees.
