Nattapong revealed that the Prachachon Party will introduce its Bangkok governor candidate in early May. He expressed confidence that the party's team is the best choice, ready to address corruption issues with a strong ideology and affirmed they will not accept kickbacks if elected.
At 14:00 on 21 Apr 2026 at the Prachachon Party office, Nattapong Ruangpanyawut, party leader, spoke about the party’s Bangkok governor candidate. He said the candidate would be unveiled in early May. He believes the party’s representative is the best choice due to Bangkok’s many structural problems, including corruption. Amending the law to grant the governor real authority requires strong support from MPs and local councilors to push it through together.
Nattapong cited examples where local administrations, including Bangkok, face issues where even well-intentioned executives must compromise with local council members to pass budgets. Budgets are often divided to distribute to council members; otherwise, funding is withheld. For instance, Bangkok’s expensive running track issue highlights that without the administration’s and councilors’ strong support, problems cannot be resolved and are subject to continual political bargaining.
Nattapong also stated his confidence in the Prachachon Party team. He said they are ready to be a key choice for Bangkok residents, working together as a strong team with clear ideology. He assured that Prachachon local councilors would not accept kickbacks. If elected, they are prepared to monitor their members, which is what Bangkok residents expect to bring about positive change.
