Four Failed Local Government Exam Candidates Absent, No Corruption Found
Four candidates failed to report for local government positions in Nakhon Ratchasima on July 1, with officials confirming no exam fraud was involved—two chose police careers instead, one cited illness, and one had incomplete documents.
Officials clarified that four candidates who did not report for appointment as local government officials have no connection to exam fraud. Two are police officers who voluntarily forfeited their positions, one is ill, and one has incomplete documents.
The exam reporting ceremony for appointing local government officials in Nakhon Ratchasima province took place on July 1, 2025 at the Nong Bua Sala sub-district administration building. Deputy Governor Wijit Kijwirut presided over the ceremony, attended by Anant Tham Thong, Nakhon Ratchasima provincial official, and Samroeng Pla Kratoke, mayor of Nong Bua Sala sub-district.
Anant Tham Thong revealed that 191 candidates were appointed in total, comprising 179 sub-district administrative organization positions, 11 municipal positions, and one provincial administrative position. Of these, 187 candidates reported for duty.
The four who did not report consisted of two men currently serving as police officers who passed the local government exam but chose to forfeit their positions. The third candidate is a woman with a chronic illness who requested to forfeit her position. The fourth is a woman with incomplete supporting documents and therefore did not meet the selection criteria.
Authorities confirmed that all four absent candidates have no involvement or suspicion of exam fraud, with each case having clear and verifiable reasons. The appointment process followed all established regulations and procedures transparently.
