On June 30, 2569, Wirojn Lakchanaadithorn, from the Pheu Thai administrative team, along with 22 prospective Bangkok Metropolitan Council members, announced their candidate for council president and transparency initiatives for Governor Chadchart's term. The party plans to prioritize two key ordinances: a construction site safety regulation requiring CCTV installation, insurance disclosure, and enhanced safety protocols; and a building control ordinance to standardize inspection of existing structures and address traffic issues in large establishments through public transportation zones.
Wirojn stated that additional measures include meeting transparency protocols, ensuring all council decisions and budget allocations are publicly disclosed. The party also plans to establish two special committees: one to address the medical referral system for Thai health card holders from primary to secondary and tertiary hospitals, and another to solve waste management issues, particularly in Prawet district.
For the 2570 annual budget review, Pheu Thai intends to use AI technology to screen all projects, inviting public participation in the audit process. The party believes the new council president must understand urban priorities and commit to transparency and efficiency. They propose supporting Pattraporn Kaengrungreuangchai, a prospective council member from Khlong Toei district, for the presidency.
