Bangkok governor elections used to be held once every four years until the 2014 coup saw national and local votes suspended. Now, expectations are rising ahead of the first gubernatorial election in nine years, as voters scrutinize several strong contenders who have already announced their intentions to join the race.

 

The election is tentatively scheduled for May, according to Deputy PM Wissanu Krea-ngam.

 

Thai PBS World takes a look at the candidates, their campaign promises, and the challenges that lie ahead if they win the vote to become Bangkok’s most powerful official.
