On May 27, 2025, at the Airport Rail Link Makkasan station, the Ruamthai Tham Party, led by General Rangsi Kittiyanacharit, officially launched Police Lieutenant General Chanjatep Sesavej as its Bangkok governor candidate, along with 49 Bangkok Metropolitan Council candidates for the June 28, 2025 election.
General Rangsi stated that the party aims to improve quality of life in Bangkok by introducing innovations to solve persistent urban problems and elevate living standards to match global metropolitan cities. He outlined five key policies:
1. Introduce AI technology to manage traffic signals across Bangkok and coordinate with railway systems to prevent disasters.
2. Install closed-circuit cameras throughout Bangkok for public safety, with accessible footage available to citizens.
3. Increase drainage points and water pumps to cover all areas and improve water drainage efficiency.
4. Eliminate garbage within four years using plasma arc technology, making Bangkok clean and free from plastic waste and litter.
5. Reduce corruption and misconduct in procurement, construction permits, and under-the-table payments that have plagued the city.
General Rangsi also pledged to expand street food vending areas without impacting traffic or pedestrian paths, benefiting vendors from Bangkok and other provinces.
Police Lieutenant General Chanjatep committed to using city officials to assist in traffic enforcement and implementing technology in congested areas. He promised to consult with police leadership on traffic control measures and proposed eliminating garbage collection fees and implementing waste sorting.
When asked about incumbent governor Chumphon Silpasuwan's previous promises, Chanjatep questioned how many had been actually implemented with concrete results.
