People's Party apologises after former candidate's narcotics arrestThe People's Party (PP) in Rayong has apologised after a former local election candidate was arrested on drug charges. "I and the People's Party Rayong apologise to the public," Mr Krit said, describing the allegations as "serious criminal offences and unacceptable behaviour". Investigators said the arrest followed intelligence that the suspect was selling drugs via a messaging application. Police said the suspect admitted sourcing narcotics from a local network and distributing them for profit. He confirmed the suspect had no active role in the party after the February election but remained a member until now.
