According to a poll conducted by Nida, Kamronwit Toopkrajang was only slightly ahead of his arch-rival Chan Puangpetch in the Pathum Thani Provincial Administrative Organization ( PAO ) race for the top position.
The poll released on Sunday showed that Pol Lt Gen Kamronwit received 31.87 % of the surveyed voters, while Mr. Charn received 28.68 %. Two weeks are still until the PAO chairman election in Pathum Thani.
The outcome of an election could depend on two groups of citizens. Additionally, according to the poll, 8.98 % of voters still have to choose who to cast their ballot, and 17.43 % said they would exercise their right to vote but would not support any of the candidates.
In the vote scheduled for June 30th, Pol Lt. Gen. Kamronwit and Mr. Charn are among the four candidates running for the placement of PAO president. The different two candidates are viewed as also-runs with much help in the poll.
1, 067 available citizens in Pathum Thani were asked on Tuesday and Wednesday by the National Institute of Development and Administration about their options and ideas.
Political experts say the provincial’s local election will show how influential former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been since returning to Thailand from self-exile.
The Pheu Thai Party is asking Mr Charn, a former three- day PAO chair, in a charge to get revenge on Pol Lt Gen Kamronwit, who well defeated him in the 2020 election.
Prior to the two’s split, Pol Lt Gen Kamronwit was again a police officer who was devoted to Thaksin. He previously acknowledged that the former prime minister who was convicted assisted him in rising to the position of chief of the Metropolitan Police Bureau. ” I have come this far because of the help from my sibling”, he again said, referring to Thaksin.
Thaksin sent a clear indication of his backing for Mr. Charn. On June 8, the former prime minister on probation presided over a religious festival in Pathum Thani’s Thanya Buri area for a child of the Thanya Buri governor, with Mr. Charn also present.
A swarm of red-shirt people waited to greet Thaksin at the location.
However, a surprising finding was that the June 8 visit to the state by Thaksin would have no effect on the surveyed electors in the June 30 vote, with almost 82 % of those who voted in favor of the candidate’s election finding that their choice may be unimportant.
The Move Forward Party swept Pheu Thai out of Pathum Thani in the federal election last month, taking only one of its seven tickets. The majority both went to Walk Forward.
