Pheu Thai submits MP list – without urban favourite Chatchart

By The Nation

 

 

Pheu Thai Party on Tuesday morning submitted its MP list and list of PM candidates to the Election Commission (EC).
 

The document, signed by its leader Viroj Pao-in, includes Pheu Thai’s three Prime Minister candidates – Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, Chatchart Sitthipan and Chaikasem Nitisiri.

 

It also included the names of 97 members vying for MP positions.

 

All key members , including Viroj, Sudarat, Chaikasem, and Phumtham Wechayachai appeared on the MP list – except for Chatchart.

Chatchart said the exception was simply because each member had different areas of expertise.

 

However, he was ready to help the party work, he said. Even if Pheu Thai loses the election, he would still remain with it.

 

Chatchart said he might run again for the Bangkok governorship under Pheu Thai.

 

Chatchart is popular among young and urban voters.

He might make Bangkok fun again.  He would be so much than the boring poser and posturer "running" Bangkok now.

... but he would reconsider if someone would offer him something, anything really.
