According to a source, the Bangkok governor is expected to resign by March 25th and officially declare his candidacy for governor. He had previously stated that he would make a decision once the date for the city election was determined. The Election Commission set May 22nd as the date for city elections in Bangkok and the city of Pattaya in Chonburi province.

 

Former Bangkok deputy governor Sakoltee Phattiyakul resigned on March 7th to run for the top job as an independent candidate. Chadchart Sittipunt, Suchatvee Suwansawat, Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, and Rossana Tositrakul are also in the running.
