Mr Pita made the comment on the sidelines of a campaign rally that drew thousands of enthusiastic supporters to Samyan Mitrtown in Bangkok. The May 14 election is shaping up as a contest between pro-military conservatives and the populist opposition led by the Pheu Thai Party and Move Forward. Paetongtarn Shinawatra of Pheu Thai and Mr Pita are the top two picks. Mr Pita said that support base complements Pheu Thai, backed by working people and farmers in the rural North and Northeast.
