Bangkok: Chatchart Sittipunt, candidate number 9 for the Bangkok Governor election, has expressed concern over the lackluster election atmosphere and is urging Bangkok residents to exercise their right to vote on June 28. In a bid to energize voters, Chatchart has embarked on a 24-hour campaign tour across the city, emphasizing the importance of democratic participation.

According to Thai News Agency, Chatchart's last-minute campaign efforts aim to remind the public of their vital role in shaping the future of Bangkok. He highlighted that the election, scheduled for June 28, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, is crucial for demonstrating democratic power and ensuring the elected governor has a strong mandate from the people, which is essential for effective governance.

Chatchart has planned a "fire trip," a 24-hour continuous campaign starting at 6:00 PM on June 26 and ending at 6:00 PM on June 27. The campaign will cover all 50 constituencies and is designed to raise awareness about the election date, rather than solely garnering votes for himself. The tour will include live broadcasts and social media engagement, aiming to reach citizens who may not receive election information during nighttime hours.

During his campaign, Chatchart has also outlined his vision for enhancing Bangkok's security infrastructure. He plans to improve lighting, expand the CCTV network, and upgrade emergency services to ensure safety for both residents and tourists. Additionally, Chatchart stressed the importance of economic growth, noting that fostering both large and small-scale economies is vital for sustaining the city's labor market.

Chatchart has emphasized transparency and accountability throughout his campaign, discussing the need to continue the fight against corruption and the importance of clear communication from all candidates. He remains open to collaborating with other candidates and incorporating beneficial policies if re-elected.

In closing, Chatchart encouraged early voting on June 28, urging citizens to verify their polling stations and be prepared for potential rain on election day. He remains optimistic about the positive impact of his campaign principles-rethinking traditional approaches, ensuring campaign activities are enjoyable, and scaling up efforts through technology and social media.
