Chadchart insists he does not support any Bangkok Council candidate team. He explained he does not want to confuse the public but admitted seeing many talented individuals. He said he would not be upset if he received few votes this time, and if people vote for him again, it shows trust. Meanwhile, Tawida stated that working without a party group is still possible and effective, too.
On 28 May 2026 at 6:25 a.m. at Bangkok City Hall 2, Chadchart Sittipunt, the prospective candidate for Bangkok governor, spoke to Thairath TV regarding Bangkok Council (BMC) candidates who have appeared on banners alongside him. He affirmed that he is not supporting any individual or team but acknowledged that in the future, he sees many capable candidates from various parties, including the Prachachon Party, Democrat Party, and other working groups. He noted there are quality candidates but that he does not endorse any specific one. Regarding groups using his image alongside theirs, he said he does not want the public to misunderstand, as he is happy to work with everyone.
When asked whether the team of four former deputy governors from previous terms would return to work together, Chadchart said he could not promise whether they would stay or not. However, everyone remains part of the team to assist because many have valuable experience. He also mentioned that his own team consists of hundreds of people with expertise across many fields.
When asked what he would do first if re-elected as Bangkok governor this time, Chadchart replied that there are 250 priorities since Bangkok has no single first priority. He emphasized that his current focus is on economic issues because they are crucial. Regarding this election, he said he is not worried and will do his best. Whether he receives many votes or few depends on the people; he would not be upset either way and wants the public to decide.
Asked why Bangkok residents should choose Chadchart again, he said that if they choose him, it means they trust him—simply that. He added that if people choose anyone, they should trust that person to work effectively, honestly, and for the public good.
Later, Associate Professor Tawida Kamolwetcha and Tosak Chotimongkol, members of Chadchart's team, spoke further to Thairath TV about the advantages or disadvantages of having no party members in the council. Associate Professor Tawida said they have managed well so far. Policy disagreements are normal; if the entire Bangkok Council were from one group, who would check them? Having no party of their own does not mean they cannot work. If they brought in 50 people with no other voices or differences, it would be problematic. Other teams will make them work more carefully. Therefore, debate based on information is necessary to develop policies that address everyone's needs, not just one group's.
When asked what he would change looking back four years, Tosak said he would want to fix the Bangkok Council itself. He believes the council and Bangkok government should meet at the start of the budget year, then review mid-year and at year-end, but this has not happened yet.
