Pita outlines grassroots approach to developing election-winning policies

The party’s 300 policies aimed to address social challenges by promoting democracy, improving social welfare, fostering decentralisation, enhancing agriculture and education, and protecting the environment, Pita said.

Raising the daily minimum wage to 450 baht, allowing elections for governors in all provinces, and cancelling mandatory military conscription were among the party’s campaign promises.

Decharut Sukkumnoed, a member of Move Forward’s advisory panel, said about 200 party members, including volunteers, were involved in developing policies. They spent up to 4,200 hours developing policies by speaking with people in person across the country, he said.

Move Forward MPs were effective in informing the public about their policies because they all underwent training to ensure that they truly understood them, he added.
