Bangkok governor Apirak Kosayohin won re-election this week by a wide margin. Running against People’s Power Party candidate Prapas Chonsanguan, Kosayodhin, leading of the Democrat Party, won an addition four year team. The election results come in the context of political instability at the federal level as the country seeks a governing coalition.
Apirak, who worked as a telecommunications businessman before entering politics, has been a popular opposition mayor of the nation’s capital in recent years. Third party candidate Chuwit Kamolvisit also made news for a physical confrontation with a journalist during the intense election campaign.
