The family of a local politician who was fatally shot at his owner’s property registered to run for president of the Provincial Administration Organization on Monday.

Napapat Anchasanichamon, who is a statewide chairman, will have the support of the Pheu Thai Party in running for the placement of PAO key.

She submitted her election on Monday, the first day of membership. Additionally, three more prospects voted in the surveys.

Soonthorn Vilawan’s party has not yet registered a member. The party has been silent since Ms Napapat’s father, Chaimet” Sol Jor Tong” &nbsp, Sitsanitphong, was slain at Mr Soonthorn’s residence on Dec 11. They are required to register a name by Friday.

Mr Napapat had first decided to pull out of the contest after the alleged crime by two of Mr Sunthoon’s aides, fearful for her protection. She made a change of heart next year thanks to the support of the party, Thamanat Prompow, an Kla Dharma Party member who has close ties with Pheu Thai and former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

After completing the registration process on Monday, the Pheu Thai member stated,” Khun Thaksin has called to offer me his help.”

” I am very convinced of winning the election. Nobody wanted me to stay fighting”, she added.

In the middle of a political conflict, her father Chaimet was shot at several times at Mr. Soonthorn’s Muang city home. Chaimet apparently preferred his own candidate over Ms Napapat to work for PAO leader, but Mr. Soonthorn reportedly favored his own. He is retiring owing to his advanced years, 85 years.

Mr. Soonthorn and his relatives have a fabled political legacy in the state for years and have a strong kinship with the Bhumjaithai Party. He treated Chaimet as his right-hand guy, like an adopted child.

In connection with the killing, Mr. Soonthorn and his six advisers were detained. They are still being detained as authorities continue to question them and prepare their case reports for prosecution.

Authorities made another research of the crime-scene residence on Sunday, looking for additional information.

According to Central Investigation Bureau assistant director Pol Maj Gen Suwat Saengnum, prosecutors had interrogated roughly 50 witnesses and didn’t feel the need to make additional arrests. &nbsp,
