The Federation of Thai Industries' Electrical, Electronics and Allied Industry Club yesterday nominated one more candidate in the race to become the next FTI chairman.
Suraporn Simakulthorn, the new candidate, said: "If I win, I would prefer a single term [two years], because I only want to reorganise the FTI and create harmony among the members. Even though regulations allow for two consecutive terms as chairman, I don't think I'd do that."
He said his two main objectives for running were to reorganise the FTI and enhance the industrial sector's competitiveness, in order to be a leader within Asean.
Suraporn is president of Kulthorn Kirby, a manufacturer of hermetic compressors for refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.
Two others earlier announced their candidacy for the election, which will be held next March.
One is vice chairman Payungsak Chartsutipol, who has the backing of leading firms like the Siam Cement Group, PTT and the Saha Group.
Asian Honda Motor senior vice president Adisak Rohitasune is the other candidate. He was proposed by Saha Farms Group president and CEO Manoonsri chotitawan and is supported by automotive companies and auto-parts manufacturers.
