Aprirak Kosayothin, Deputy Head of the Democrat Party visited Chiang Mai to help Democrat candidates including Capt. Duentemduang na Chiengmai, the former Mayor of Chiang Mai and the Democratic candidate in the upcoming general election to be held on July 3, 2011.

Apirak and Capt. Duentemdueng, who is running in the Constituency Zone 7, Chiang Mai’s Mae Rim and Mae Taeng districts, went to Mae Rim market to distribute leaflets, greeted vendors and shoppers at the fresh markets and introduce themselves and the party policy and candidates.

The Democrat candidates also spoke on stage in front of the Mae Rim Police Station, to explain party policy to the people gathered there.

Apirak said for the Democrat candidates in Chiang Mai and the North will need to work hard as most of the people in the North belonged to rival political parties. However, he asked people to give them a chance, to listen to what they say and vote for them so that the government can continue their work in solving the country’s problems.

He said that the Democrat party has high expectations in the lower North, as well as central part of the North, such as Tak, Sukhothai, Nakhon Sawan, Phetchabun, Kampaeng Phet, and Phitsanulok.

He stressed that the Democrat Party would launch more political and the Party has planned more public speeches in Nakhon Sawan, Phitsanulok, and in lower Northeast provinces as the main target.

Capt. Duentemduang na Chiengmai was elected as the Mayor of Chiang Mai as an independent in June of 2007 but was later disqualified as a candidate by the Chiang Mai election committee as a non-resident of Chiang Mai, a decision endorsed by the Supreme Administrative Court in 2009.
