CHON BURI: Veteran politician and former Pattaya mayor Sonthaya Kunplome has reaffirmed his confidence that his team would help the Pheu Thai Party achieve a clean sweep in the province in the coming election.
The ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) aims to capture at least a dozen House seats in Bangkok in the next election, the same number it won in the previous poll.
