Campaign winners and losers in the race to become Bangkok governor
13 Sept 23:54 Key points summarised by AI
- Independent candidate Chadchart Sittipunt leads as a frontrunner, lauded for his pragmatic approach of 200 small, actionable ideas, low-key green campaign, and detailed environmental pledges.
- Democrat candidate Suchatvee Suwansawat's popularity is fading, failing to impress voters with grand infrastructure plans or connect effectively despite an initial strong campaign.
- Other significant contenders include Move Forward Party's Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, known for his anti-corruption stance, and former governor Pol General Aswin Kwanmuang, who benefits from voter familiarity.
- Analysts emphasize that all candidates must present concrete action plans, not just policy ideas, to win over voters in the final sprint to the May 22 election.
