Hopefuls flock to Laksi district office for candidate registration in January 30 by-election

Election candidates from various parties and their supporters showed up in high spirits this morning (Thursday) at Bangkok’s Laksi district office on the first day of candidate registration for the by-election in Bangkok’s Constituency 9, scheduled for January 30th.

The by-election is being held to fill the seat left by Sira Jenjaka, of the ruling Palang Pracharat party, following the Constitutional Court’s ruling that he was unqualified to contest the election, in which he became an MP, after he had been sentenced to a prison term for fraud in a final ruling.

The Palang Pracharat party is fielding Jira’s wife, Saranrat, to contest the poll.
