Former transport minister in the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Chadchart Sittipunt, is leading the Bangkok gubernatorial race among eligible voters, with the election to be held early next year, according to a poll by the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA).

 

The survey gauged the opinions of voters of various different educational backgrounds and occupations in Bangkok by phone interview. It is the eighth opinion poll on the issue to be conducted by NIDA.

 

The survey shows Chadchart leading with 34.37% of the respondents polling in his favour. He is followed by the incumbent governor, Pol Gen Aswin Kwanmuang, who received 17.07% support.

Why do nearly all Thai politicians have faces like a burglar?

Saw a few buses with Chadcharts name on the side of them traveling near Rangsit as we rode the Ordinary train yesterday returning from the far north.  It made me wonder if he owns a bus company or if it was a caravan of his folks taking a trip as today is a holiday and yesterday was Fathers day.

How lucrative is the post of governor of Bangkok?  How many positions can he fill through patronage?  What percentage will he have to forward to Dubai?
