Pheu Thai plays down poll standingsListen to this articleYodchanan WongsawatPheu Thai Party’s prime ministerial candidates on Sunday downplayed mixed polling results, saying surveys offer “lessons, not verdicts”, and insisting the party’s policies will resonate with Bangkok voters ahead of the Feb 8 general election. Yodchanan Wongsawat, the party’s prime ministerial frontrunner, and Julapun Amornvivat, party leader and another candidate, spoke to reporters after Suan Dusit Poll placed Pheu Thai second in its recent nationwide opinion survey for their favourite political party, despite Mr Yodchanan ranking only 10th in the latest Nida Poll for Bangkok voters. Mr Yodchanan, 46, is Thaksin Shinawatra's nephew. Pheu Thai, he said, would continue working to regain public trust and prove that its policies can deliver solutions and opportunities. Meanwhile, Mr Yodchanan said he welcomed the polling results as sincere feedback.
