Two prominent families to fight for domination in Surat Thani by-election

SURAT THANI: -- The opposition Pheu Thai Party has endorsed the candidacy of Somphol Wichaidit, brother of party leader Yongyuth Wichaidit, for the by-election in Surat Thani.

The race is billed as the proxy battle by the brothers from two prominent families.

The by-election, scheduled for August 30, is to fill the House seat vacated by Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thuagsuban who voluntarily resigned following his involvement in the share-holding case.

Pending the official endorsement by the Democrat Party, Suthep has named his brother Thanee Thuagsuban as his successor.

Pending the official endorsement by the Democrat Party, Suthep has named his brother Thanee Thuagsuban as his successor.

This explains why Thani did not run in the by-elections for the PAO chairman last Sunday, which was caused by his election fraud as ruled by the Election Committee. He was however only yellow-carded as it was considered a minor fraud, so was eligible to run for the same post again. Instead his cousin Damrong Thaugsuban run (and lost) in this local election.
