The Governor of Mukdahan submitted his resignation after being reassigned to an inspector role. He affirmed his long-standing dedication to work but said his superiors did not assess his performance fairly based on merit, prompting his decision to pursue a different career.
On 10 Nov 2026 GMT+7, reporters reported that following the Cabinet's approval of the Ministry of Interior's proposal to transfer Mr. Worayan Boonnarath, Governor of Mukdahan Province, to the position of inspector at the Ministry, Mr. Worayan submitted his resignation letter to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior the same day. He stated that during his 34 years of service—from district chief officer up to provincial governor—he had devoted himself to his duties with diligence and never caused damage to his position, the government, or the Ministry of Interior.
Mr. Worayan added that since he did not receive a fair evaluation of his performance based on merit from his superiors at the Ministry of Interior, he requested to resign to pursue another career starting 18 Nov 2026 GMT+7. He asked for approval of his resignation effective that date and assured that he is prepared to continue his duties and properly hand over responsibilities until the resignation takes effect as permitted.
