Bangkok: Abhisit Vejjajiva, a list MP and leader of the Democrat Party, is gearing up to unveil his candidate for the Bangkok governor position this coming May. He has indicated that there are several individuals interested in the role, with some making approaches and others submitting applications. The announcement is expected to be made by early May as preparations are underway to register their candidacy by mid-May.
According to Thai News Agency, Abhisit discussed the ongoing efforts to finalize the party's candidate for the upcoming Bangkok governor election.
