Mukdahan Governor Resigns After Transfer to Inspector Role
Mukdahan Governor Waran Boonnaraj has resigned immediately after being transferred to an inspector general position at the Ministry of Interior.

Mukdahan Governor Waran Boonnaraj submitted an immediate resignation letter requesting to pursue another career after being transferred to serve as Inspector General at the Ministry of Interior, citing that his 34-year career was not evaluated under the merit system.
November 10, 2026 – Following the Cabinet's resolution to transfer Waran Boonnaraj from Mukdahan Governor to Inspector General at the Ministry of Interior, while simultaneously appointing Paranya Unphetworakorn as the new Mukdahan Governor, recent reports indicate that Waran Boonnaraj has signed a resignation letter addressed to the Ministry of Interior's Permanent Secretary titled "Request to Resign from Civil Service."
The letter states that Waran Boonnaraj, in his position as Mukdahan Governor, intends to resign from civil service because during his 34 years of service from District Deputy Chief to Provincial Governor, he dedicated himself to his duties with determination, effort, and diligence, never performing his duties in a manner that caused damage to his position or the Ministry of Interior. However, since he was not evaluated under the merit system by his superiors at the Ministry of Interior, he requests to resign to pursue another career effective November 18 onward. He also expressed readiness to continue performing his duties and handing over responsibilities until the resignation takes effect.
