Earlier reports indicated that the party had approved the nominations of party leader Anutin Charnvirakul, Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun and Foreign Affairs Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow. The recent floods in the South had inevitably affected support, Mr Phiphat added, but insisted that government relief had now reached 97% of affected households. As for Wednesday's announcement, Mr Phiphat confirmed the party would present all 500 parliamentary candidates and hinted that while Mr Anutin was the first prime ministerial nominee, the remaining two names would be revealed on stage. He said nominating three candidates was necessary to avoid risks associated with relying on a single figure, particularly in light of ethical and legal scrutiny.
