On economic issues, Gen Rangsi said the party aims to cut electricity prices from 3.94 baht to 2.80 baht per unit if it forms the government. The party introduced three Phuket candidates who pledged to tackle local problems such as traffic congestion, water shortages, waste management and road expansion.
