Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon, in his capacity as the leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, declined to answer when asked about the surprising popularity of the Move Forward Party in Sunday’s general election.

Gen Prawit arrived at his party’s headquarters at about 9pm on Sunday. He smiled and patted the shoulders of the key party figures who welcomed him before stepping onto a podium to speak to reporters.

He thanked reporters and all the voters who supported his party. He said he was grateful for their support regardless of the election results.

“Other topics will be discussed later. It’s not the time yet. We must wait longer because vote counting has not finished,” Gen Prawit said.

Asked to comment on the possibility of a great victory for the Move Forward Party, Gen Prawit said nothing.

He also remained silent when reporters asked if he was disheartened.

He left the podium quickly, ending his press conference after about a minute.
