Bangkok –
The Thai Election Committee (EC) has not yet endorsed Chadchart Sittipunt as Bangkok Governor following a complaint about his election sign recycling campaigns, which could be proved as election fraud, according to the relevant authorities.
The Election Committee has released a list of 50 councilors in the Bangkok council this afternoon. However, the endorsement of the elected governor, who was elected with 1,386,215 votes, a record breaking vote, was not announced.
The Election Committee reasoned that they had to reexamine Chadchart following complaints filed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and concerned citizens who urged the authorities to investigate whether his recycling of election banners campaigns into bags and aprons could make his winning dishonest.
The Committee will hold another meeting on May 31st at 1:30 PM. to reconsider the matter before officially announcing the result of the name of the new Bangkok Governor.
