Key points learned from Thammasat poll
14 Sept 01:36Key points summarised by AI
The Thammasat University poll, surveying over 20,000 voters, provides unique insights into the Bangkok gubernatorial election, challenging previous perceptions of candidate popularity.
Chadchart Sittipunt's lead is not as dominant as widely believed, garnering 28% support, with Suchatvee Suwansawat (22%) and Aswin Kwanmuang (14.7%) trailing closely, indicating a more competitive race.
The number of undecided voters has significantly decreased, and the Democrat Party's candidate, Suchatvee, surprisingly gained support despite recent controversies, showcasing a dynamic political landscape.
While a landslide victory for Chadchart appears less likely, his continued lead is bolstered by the fact that his opponents will also be competing against each other for votes, maintaining his strong chances.
