The group led by Udon Thani candidate Angkritsada Rawinit alleged the New Economics executives failed to keep their promise to repay money spent during their campaigns. Each candidate had spent between Bt200,000 to Bt2 million, he said. They were suffering from stress and some had become suicidal over their financial problems, Angkritsada said. If he cannot help the party candidates, he cannot possibly help the country.”The candidates released LINE conversations showing executives promising to reimburse candidates receiving more than 500 votes. New Economics gained 480,000 votes in the March 24 election, which secured six party-list seats in the Lower House.
