The PP will focus on political transformation driven by citizens, emphasising public participation in reshaping Thailand's political and social structures. Beyond Bangkok, election authorities and provincial administrations across the country have intensified efforts to encourage voter turnout and participation in the simultaneous referendum on whether to approve the drafting of a new constitution. In Pathum Thani yesterday, the Election Commission (EC) organised a "Big Day" campaign urging citizens to vote and take part in the referendum. Meanwhile, the EC issued a firm warning to political party executives, stressing their responsibility to prevent members from engaging in actions that could undermine free and fair elections.
