Bangkok: Chatchart Sittipunt, the former Governor of Bangkok, made a notable entrance as he cycled to City Hall 2 to register for the upcoming Bangkok gubernatorial election. His candidacy announcement for a second term as an independent candidate was marked by his familiar black vest emblazoned with "Bangkok at Work." Meanwhile, Add Moo, also known as Wittaya Dokklang, registered for a Bangkok Metropolitan Council seat in the Yannawa district.
According to Thai News Agency, Chatchart expressed confidence and a commitment to remain grounded, despite admitting to some sleeplessness due to the anticipation. His campaign is driven by a comprehensive policy proposal titled "250+ policies from Chatchart's team to make 'Bangkok work' at all levels," which aims to transform Bangkok into a metropolis of hope and opportunity. His focus includes leveraging technology to strengthen the city's infrastructure and promote economic growth without cash handouts, preferring skills training and support for street food vendors.
Add Moo, who has been a longtime supporter and behind-the-scenes worker for Chatchart, steps into the limelight with his candidacy for the Bangkok Metropolitan Council. He is eager to address the economic and tourism potential of Yannawa district by regulating street vendors and restaurants to increase economic opportunities and improve the area's drainage system. Despite acknowledging his current low profile, Add Moo is determined to be remembered as a dedicated and hardworking public servant, drawing inspiration from Chatchart's capabilities.
