Led by current Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, the Bhumjaithai Party unofficially won in Burriam province in the northeastern province of Thailand.

 

In the 2019 General Election Buriram was divided into eight constituencies all of which were won by the Bhumjaithai Party. In this year’s General Election Buriram was divided into 10 constituencies and Bhumjaithai was the dominant party once again, claiming every single constituency.

The Bhumjaithai Party’s Members of Parliament (MPs) in Buriram are led by the influential Chidchob family. The President of the Buriram United Football Club, Newin Chidchob, promoted his son, Chaichanok Chidchob, as a candidate in the second constituency of the province.

 

This is the first time Chidchanok has been involved in politics after studying in England for 17 years and returning to Buriram to help his father run the football and motorsport racing teams. Chaichanok also led the provincial E-Sport team to win a Thailand championship and opened the E-Sport Predator Arena as the nation’s main E-Sport competition venue.

Anutin (71) + Prayut (36) + Senators (250) = majority (357).

Not quite. Half of 750 would be 375.  They need about 20 more votes.

Cue - 'Do you know who my father is?' 

Now who else do we know from an influential family who is also involved with motorsport racing teams?

Unfortunately this sleaze bag will do anything to get the limelight.

 

Hopefully get hit by a car or something. 

He is on one of the strings of the puppet master. He's not going anywhere. If you dig hard enough there is the infamous photo of him holding the 5* shopping bags next to the limo for him and her in a land far away many moons ago.

What about Prawit's votes? About 40 isn't it?
