"Chatchart"

Though the capital’s gubernatorial elections are expected to be held in mid-2022, Bangkokians are already studying the four potential candidates.

Pheu Thai Party on Tuesday morning submitted its MP list and list of PM candidates to the Election Commission (EC).

FORMER transport minister Chatchart Sitthiphan is tipped to be Pheu Thai Party’s first prime minister candidate, gaining precedence over the party’s election strategy president, Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, after an internal survey suggested he was more popular.

Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Monday that he felt disappointed when two prominent thinkers turned down a request to sit on the national strategy committee.
