rubl Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Results as they come in can be followed on NBT here http://tv.truelife.com/content/104617Language Thai, but numbers are numbers. MR Sukhumbhant seems to have a growing lead from 58,000 1-1/2 hour ago to more than 71,000 now.MR Sukhumbhant was quoted as saying to refrain from commenting till at least 80% of votes cast have been counted and at the Pheu Thai HQ, camp of his worthy opponent, we have Ms. Yingluck and top members refusing to comment until official results are final. No word from Pol. General Pongsapat as far as I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I would urge members of the forum who are not supporters of PTP to avoid GLOATING. We do not want to upset the Yingluck clan at their supper table. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZEMADE Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 It appears the Bangkok voters have a good memory. Not really, because nothing is going to change for them. I'll put money on that. Bangkok and it's corruption will remain in place as it was, as it has always been regardless of whatever Government got into power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
473geo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Not a bad result for PTP, they have enough to deal with without the added burden of a sinking city with major traffic issues, and the annual flood problems. Let us hope for the people of Bangkok the elected candidate in Bangkok will now move forward and go some way to resolving these problems.With the support of a government commited to providing assistance and making a visible difference to the future of the city.

So why did they have to send out an open letter to the people of Bangkok last Friday with the message: Vote for Pongsapat if you want to enjoy full and seamless cooperation from PT.
