Naruphon Yenprasert won the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO) chief election with over 56% of the votes, succeeding his late uncle.
Naruphon is the nephew of Thongchai Yenprasert, the former PAO chief who was murdered in August, an incident that sparked a national scandal.
He attributed his victory to his uncle's legacy and the 'Phueng Luang' political network, pledging to continue Thongchai's policies to enhance quality of life and local services.
His main competitor, Decharut Sukkumnoed of the opposition People’s Party, conceded defeat after securing 40% of the votes.
