Play
FORMER POLICE chief Wichean Potephosree registered yesterday as a candidate for the Election Commission.
He was the 16th person to have filed credentials with the Senate Secretariat. Applications from people keen to be part of the EC close tomorrow.
Wichean said he wanted to use his experience acquired while holding various positions in government service for the interest of the country.
If he is selected, he plans to propose the use of modern technology for more efficient management of elections. But if he misses out, he would like to be an EC adviser.
Wichean has been moved many times over the past year under Yingluck Shinawatra's government. He served as national police chief when Yingluck came to office, before being transferred to become secretarygeneral of the National Security Council. That move paved the way for Yingluck's brotherinlaw Priewpan Damapong to be national police chief.
