Pattaya mayoral, city council elections this weekend

PATTAYA:--35 vie for 24 city council seats

An automotive engineer, political consultant and business owner filed to oppose Acting Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome in Sunday’s city-wide elections.

The June 17 ballot also drew filings from 35 people to vie for 24 Pattaya City Council seats. All the filings were subject to approval by the Election Commission of Thailand, which planned to announce the final ballot late this week.

In the mayor’s race, Itthiphol faces three possible opponents: Udomsak Chuenkhrut, 34, the managing director of a privately owned company; Su-ainee Piendee, 34, a former political consultant, and Suphakit Suneerattanakul, 34, an automotive engineer for a construction company.

For the Pattaya City Council, Itthiphol’s Rao Rak Pattaya party filed a full slate for seats in all four electoral districts.

Independent candidates for District 1 include Sompng Iempinyo, 51, an employee of a private company; Punya Pornmanusorn, 42, a design manager; and contractor Manoch Kijthumcharoen, 54.
