While opinion polls show Bangkok voters favour independent candidates in the upcoming governor election, observers say the “swing vote” in the capital makes it difficult to predict a winner. Many voters remain undecided up until a few days before polling stations open.

 

The election is expected later this year, though the Prayut Chan-o-cha government has yet to announce the date.

 

This time around, independent candidates have pitched themselves to voters well before those running under party banners. So far, three independents have formally announced their intention to run for governor – former transport minister Chadchart Sittipunt, former National Police chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda and ex-senator and rights activist Rossana Tositrakul.
