Bangkok City Hall
More than 900,000 eligible voters in Bangkok today elected M.R.Sukhumbhand Paribatra of Democrat Party to become the governor of Thailand’s capital city.

The Bangkok governor election was organised by the Election Commission (EC) to replace Apirak Kosayodhin, also from Democrat Party, whom had been re-elected for his second four-year term last October but decided to resign a month later after the National Counter Corruption Commission announced to press charges against Apirak and 10 other persons implicated in alleged irregularities in Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s fire truck and boat purchase scheme.
