“Anucha-Apisit” visit Sun Plaza to hear merchants’ voices, seek vibrant office workers' votes, emphasize “anti-corruption and sustainable economic recovery.”
At 12:30 p.m. on 22 June 2026, Mr. Anucha Boopachaisri, Democrat Party candidate number 5 for Bangkok governor, along with Mr. Apisit Vejjajiva, Democrat Party leader, and Mr. Ong-art Klamphaiboon, party leader’s advisor, campaigned at Sun Plaza around midday. They joined Mr. Chumphon Rungwichaniwat, candidate number 2 for Chatuchak district councilor, to campaign with working people and merchants during lunch break, receiving enthusiastic responses during the final stretch of the Bangkok governor election campaign.
Mr. Anucha said economic issues and livelihoods are top priorities for Bangkok residents, especially merchants who expressed the need for long-term, sustainable economic stimulus and recovery measures.
“Not short-term projects that boost the economy only early in the month but then decline mid or late month. The Democrat Party focuses on designing policies that create mutual benefits for both buyers and sellers to drive a stable grassroots economic growth,” he emphasized. Mr. Anucha reiterated this point.
Additionally, Mr. Anucha addressed tackling corruption. Citizens want transparency and support the Democrat Party continuing this policy, which the party has made one of its five main policies for both Bangkok governor and city council members.
“We are committed to presenting a tangible, verifiable government data disclosure platform. Previously, Bangkok may not have had such data openness, but now with database systems emerging, citizens better understand government operations. In the future, our governor and city council teams will use this platform to monitor and detect irregularities, creating transparency and reassurance for our fellow citizens,” Mr. Anucha said. .
When reporters asked about opposition from vested interest groups, Mr. Anucha confirmed that data disclosure is done in good faith, not to attack anyone but to provide information for citizens’ decision-making. If agencies find suspicious matters, they should investigate through proper procedures.
“In the last few days before the election, I will continue meeting people as much as possible and encourage Bangkok residents to vote together to help determine the city’s future.” Mr. Anucha said.
Mr. Apisit Vejjajiva, Democrat Party leader, emphasized the strength of working as a “political party.” "Political party" He said solving Bangkok’s problems cannot be done by the governor or management team alone but requires coordination with other agencies. The Democrat Party is ready with its network mechanisms—including MPs, party executives, and local members—to collaborate systematically in driving policies for Bangkok residents.
Mr. Apisit added that corruption is widely recognized as a major national problem that threatens everyone’s future. Therefore, in this final campaign phase, the Democrat Party will not relent and will fully push its anti-corruption policy to reach as many citizens as possible.
