The Bangkok Election Commission has disqualified one Bangkok gubernatorial election candidate and three city councillor candidates after finding that their qualifications do not meet the legal requirements.

 

Permanent Secretary of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), Khachit Chatchavanich, in his capacity as director of local elections in Bangkok, named the four disqualified candidates as:

 

Kraidaj Bunnag, a prospective candidate for Bangkok gubernatorial election. Background checks show that he is the owner, publisher, advertiser and editor of an entertainment magazine, which is against Section 50 (3) of the local council and local administrator election laws.
