Sukhumbhand may be endorsed as Bangkok governor next Wednesday: Sodsri

Election Commission member Sodsri Satayathum said on Tuesday the EC may have to endorse Bangkok election winner Sukhumbhand Paribatra as the new governor by next Wednesday.
According to election laws, the commission needs to finish reviewing evidence filed against any candidate within 30 days of the ballot. In this case, if the EC failed to find strong evidence against Sukhumbhand by April 2, the election watchdog would need to endorse him first and continue with a probe. If strong evidence is found against him later, the EC would have to ask the court to disqualify him, Sodsri said.
