Bangkok Deputy Governor Sakoltee Phattiyakul has resigned, effective today (Monday), to prepare to run in the forthcoming Bangkok gubernatorial election as an independent candidate, tentatively scheduled for May.

 

The Bangkok governor election in May will be the first in nine years, as M.R. Sukhumbhand Paribatra, from the Democrat Party, who won his second term in 2013, was removed from his position following the May 2014 coup, and was succeeded by current Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang who was appointed in October 2016.

 

Sakoltee said in his Facebook post today (Monday) that he submitted his resignation letter to Governor Aswin Kwanmuang today. He said he will announce his team and his future plans for Bangkok soon.

Who has done nothing in way of improvements for Bangkok.

More traffic, more pollution, more corruption.
