Looks like Thaksin's old party member Chadchart Sittipunt is going to win the election in Bangkok's gubernatorial election.

Re: Bangkok gubernatorial election
One of the requirements for running for governor is that the candidate doesn't lie.
A politician who doesn't lie? Really? That ain't no politician, that's a saint.

Re: Bangkok gubernatorial election
So, Chadchart ( ชัชชาติ) won in a huge landslide. Nothing I read pre-election speculated that such a big landslide was even a possibility. And, the Pheu Thai party (to which Chadchart used to belong) also seems to have done well. Chadchart was Minister of Transport when the Yingluck administration was ousted by a coup exactly eight years before the Bangkok election.
I wonder what the coup makers make of all this?
