The first day of candidate registration for Ang Thong's House of Representatives election was lively. Brothers Pradorn and Karavee Prisanantakul from the Bhumjaithai Party drew numbers 4 and 2 respectively, while siblings Jiraporn and Chayapha Sinthuaphrai from a prominent family in Roi Et both drew number 6.
On 27 December 2025 GMT+7, reporters described the atmosphere at the Ang Thong Provincial Election Commission Office in Mueang district, Ang Thong province, as bustling on the first day of candidate registration for the House of Representatives election. Candidates and their teams arrived early to submit documents. The "Prisanantakul" family from Ang Thong, led by "Sia Tue" Somsak Prisanantakul, entered two brothers—incumbent champions Pradorn and younger brother Karavee Prisanantakul of Bhumjaithai Party—to defend their seats and draw ballot numbers.
Ang Thong province is divided into two electoral districts. Candidates from various parties, familiar with one another, greeted each other warmly. Supporters from each side brought flowers and garlands to encourage their candidates. Before the process began, all candidates listened attentively to instructions from Election Commission officials before proceeding with registration, amidst a congenial atmosphere across all parties.
On the first day of registration for Electoral District 1,
Mr. Natthakorn Kruesiri from the Pheu Thai Party drew number 1.
Mr. Thanodom Sokhuma from the Prachachon Party drew number 2.
Dr. Phonasthorn Yooprasert from the Kla Tham Party drew number 3.
Mr. Pradorn Prisanantakul from the Bhumjaithai Party drew number 4.
For Electoral District 2,
Mr. Saroj Chamjit from the Prachachon Party drew number 1.
Mr. Karavee Prisanantakul from the Bhumjaithai Party drew number 2.
Mr. Chawakorn Sriracha from the Pheu Thai Party drew number 3.
In Roi Et province, reporters noted that candidates from Bhumjaithai, Pheu Thai, Kla Tham, and Prachachon parties arrived early.
In Electoral District 1 of Mueang Roi Et, the incumbent seat belongs to Mr. Anurak Jurimat of the Chartthaipattana Party, who has switched to Bhumjaithai. Ballot numbers are: number 1 Ms. Sudarat Wannaphat; number 2 Mr. Weerathan Maskasem; number 3 Mr. Sathaporn Wongsathanapong (Pheu Thai, a key rival); number 4 Ms. Kaeowarin Heineko; number 5 Mr. Anurak Jurimat (Bhumjaithai, incumbent MP).
This urban district is open to new party waves and candidates. Mr. Anurak’s support base remains strong due to his local role, but it's not a closed district. If Pheu Thai gains momentum or a new candidate presents a fresh image appealing to middle-class voters, competition could be tight. Mr. Anurak may have an advantage in the Roi Et municipality area, while Pheu Thai's key rival, Mr. Sathaporn Wongsathanapong, maintains active campaigning and may challenge closely.
Electoral District 2 covers Pho Chai, Changhan, Chiang Khwan, Phon Thong (only Um Mao, Na Udom, Kam Nadi subdistricts), and Thawat Buri (only Nong Pok, Thawat Buri, Ma U subdistricts). The incumbent is Mr. Chalad Khamchuang from Pheu Thai. Ballot numbers: number 1 Mr. Chalad Khamchuang (Pheu Thai); number 2 Mr. Thinkorn Onprathum (Bhumjaithai); number 3 Mr. Ekarth Polsue (Kla Tham, key rival); number 4 Ms. Naritsara Prasertsang.
Although the vote gap is not large, Mr. Chalad's support base is considered solid due to local networks and political reputation. Voters here value individual candidates and consistent work, giving the incumbent a structural advantage.
Electoral District 3 includes Nong Pok, Moei Wadi, and parts of Phon Thong (Waeng, Khok Kok Muang, Sawang, Nong Yai, Non Chai Sri, Promsawan, Sanokkaew, Wang Samakkhi, Pho Thong subdistricts). The incumbent is Ms. Ratchanee Polsue, formerly of Palang Pracharath Party but now with Kla Tham. Ballot numbers: number 1 Ms. Siwini Pakchani; number 2 Mr. Ruamsak Polyeam; number 3 Ms. Ratchanee Polsue (Kla Tham, former MP); number 4 Ms. Wasiniporn Polyeam; number 5 Mr. Kasidet Kaewpumhae; number 5 Mr. Tanarat Sujaree (Pheu Thai, key rival).
This district clearly reflects intense competition among parties. Ms. Ratchanee’s support base is clear from her past performance, but the area is seen as a "transition district." If rivals can attract new voters or generate momentum, the contest could intensify significantly. Pheu Thai's competitor is Dr. Tanarat Sujaree, son of former MP Niramitr Sujaree.
Electoral District 4 covers Selaphum, Thung Khao Luang (only Thung Khao Luang, Bueng Ngam, Maba subdistricts), and Thawat Buri (only Bueng Nakhon, Thong Thani, Paisan subdistricts). The incumbent is Mr. Narakorn Na Muangrak, formerly of Pheu Thai who has switched to Bhumjaithai. Ballot numbers for key rivals are: number 9 Mr. Narakorn Na Muangrak (Bhumjaithai, former MP); number 7 Mr. Supasit Korjaroenyos (Pheu Thai); number 3 Mr. Neo Polsue (Kla Tham), son of Ms. Ratchanee Polsue, deputy leader of Kla Tham.
The incumbent MP's support in this district is strong, backed by local networks and community leaders. Election changes here would be difficult unless there is an unusually strong national political wave. The key rival is Mr. Supasit Korjaroenyos, former governor of Ubon Ratchathani from Pheu Thai.
Electoral District 5 includes Phanom Phrai, parts of At Samat (Phon Mueang, Ban Chaeng, At Samat, Nom, Nong Muen Than, Nong Kham subdistricts), parts of Thawat Buri (Niwet, Nong Phai, Um Mao subdistricts), Thung Khao Luang (excluding Thung Khao Luang, Bueng Ngam, Maba subdistricts), and Nong Hi (only Nong Hi subdistrict).
The incumbent is Ms. Jiraporn Sinthuaphrai from Pheu Thai, who drew number 4. The main rival is Mr. Chaiwut Iamrasmikul from Bhumjaithai, number 6. This district is considered one where the incumbent has the strongest support base in the province, leading clearly over rivals, reflecting strong personal popularity.
Due to continuous work in the area, this district is viewed as a "secure seat" that is particularly difficult for opponents to penetrate. Mr. Chaiwut Iamrasmikul from Bhumjaithai remains the key challenger.
Electoral District 6 covers Suwannaphum, Phon Sai, and Nong Hi (excluding Nong Hi subdistrict).
The incumbent is Mr. Kitti Somsub from Pheu Thai, who switched to Bhumjaithai and drew number 4. The main rival is Mr. Karam Phonphornklang from Palang Pracharath Party, number 8. Although this is a large district, the incumbent’s support base remains solid. However, votes are spread among several groups, keeping the race competitive if a candidate can consolidate support from multiple areas.
Electoral District 7 includes Kaset Wisai, Pathum Rat, and parts of Mueang Suang (Ku Mueang, Kok Kung, Nong Hin subdistricts). The incumbent is Mr. Chatchawan Paetayathai from Thai Sang Thai Party, who drew number 4. The main rival is Ms. Nawarat Phakoktom from Pheu Thai, number 1. This district differs from many others as it is not dominated by a major party. Mr. Chatchawan’s support reflects genuine personal popularity and local political strength. Despite intense competition, the incumbent maintains an advantage due to his established base.
In Electoral District 8, Ms. Chayapha Sinthuaphrai from Pheu Thai drew number 5. The incumbent’s support base is clear, but because the district covers multiple mixed areas, competition remains open. This district is considered one to watch in the final campaign stretch, especially with a key rival from the same family: Mr. Thanachai Sinthuaphrai from Bhumjaithai, who drew number 9 and is the son of Ms. Jureeporn Sinthuaphrai.
Overall in Roi Et province, analysis of incumbents' data shows that Pheu Thai holds the main vote base in many districts. Incumbents retain advantages through their work and local networks. Some districts remain highly competitive if new political waves or new candidates emerge. Thus, the upcoming election in Roi Et is not only about defending existing bases but also a critical test of how much new political momentum can disrupt the established structure.
