Chaiwat Sathawornwijit has neither confirmed nor denied being the People's Party candidate for Bangkok governor, hinting at a '5/5 promotion' that promises Bangkok residents will not be disappointed. He will introduce the challenger for the position along with campaign policies.
On 2 May 2026, reporters noted that on 1 May, during a march to submit a Social Security Act draft organized by the People's Party, Chaiwat Sathawornwijit, a party-list MP, made his first public appearance. He is the figure widely rumored and watched as the People's Party candidate for Bangkok governor, participating in the procession from Bang Pho intersection to the parliament.
When asked whether the rumors about his candidacy for Bangkok governor with the People's Party were true, Chaiwat replied only to await the announcement on 5/5. On that day, the party will officially introduce its Bangkok governor candidate along with election campaign policies.
"There will be a 5/5 promotion, and I guarantee that everyone will not be disappointed. All Bangkok residents will certainly not be disappointed," Chaiwat said.
