Bhumjaithai PartyBhumjaithai Party (BJT) leader Anutin Charnvirakul brushed aside a projection by the Nida Poll director that the party would win up to 150 seats in the general election, saying the figure was "too low". Mr Anutin said on Wednesday BJT was fighting hard in every constituency and that the Nida estimate fell short of the party's internal target. However, he said opinion polls were useful benchmarks for assessing how well the party's campaign was performing. Earlier, in a television interview, Suvicha Pouaree, director of the Nida Poll Centre, said BJT was surging and expected to secure between 140 and 150 seats. On his first campaign visit to the northeastern region, Mr Anutin led campaigning in Nakhon Phanom on Wednesday.
