snoop1130 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Voters go to polls in Nakhon Pathom by-election Voters are going to the polls today (Wednesday) in Nakhon Pathom’s Constituency 5 by-election, in what is billed as a popularity contest between the Government and Opposition. Three candidates are contesting a seat vacated by Mrs. Jumpit Chantharakachorn of the Future Forward party, who resigned due to illness caused by a road accident. The candidates are Surachai Anutthato of the Democrat party, veteran politician Padermchai Sasomsap of Chart Thai Pattana party and Future Forward party’s Pairatchote Chantharakachorn, Mrs. Jumpit’s husband. Mrs. Jumpit received over 30,000 votes in the March 24th general election, beating the runner-up by more than 10,000. Future Forward party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit has been actively campaigning for his candidate, whom he is confident will win, hoping that such a win will create a domino effect that will put the Opposition into the Government House. There are 143,221 eligible voters in Constituency 5 and 193 polling units. 109,038 voters actually voted in the general election, with 4,770 votes declared invalid. The provincial election director, Ms. Boonruen Thaiwattanatham, said this morning that the voting at most polling units was going smoothly, with the exception of some units where five complaints of poll irregularities have, so far, been lodged with election officials. She said she expects 70% of eligible voters at most to cast their ballots, compared to 76% in the March 24th election. All polling units are due to close at 5pm and she anticipates initial polling results to be available around midnight. It is reported that Thanathorn will observe the count at Wat Tha Pood School in Tambon Rai Khing, Sam Phran district, at 5pm today.

harada Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 As much as I like this FF guy and like most Thais would like to see him in Govt House it won't be votes that will get him there it will take a miracle, he seems to be fairly intelligent but it's as if he doesn't know what's going on in Thailand.

Cadbury Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I hope voters remember that the Democrats deserted their supporters after the last election and joined the Palang Pracherat Party to support the PM and vote for him as Prime Minister. They in turn were handsomely rewarded by the PM with ministries and prime positions at the trough. Political integrity cannot compete with greed in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
