Rangsun Dons Blue to Compete for Bangkok Councilor Seat in Laksai District, Vows to Try Again After Narrowly Missing Victory by Just 198 Votes

Rangsun Kiyapatch, running on the Democratic Party (DP) ticket, is campaigning for the Bangkok Metropolitan Council seat in Laksai District and has announced his intention to run again after losing by just 198 votes. He emphasized that Laksai residents are not simply a voting base but a community he feels genuinely committed to.
On May 13, 2569, Rangsun Kiyapatch, the DP candidate for the Laksai BMC seat, revealed that elections will be held on June 28. He stressed that the BMC position is the closest to people's daily lives and is crucial for improving the quality of life in Laksai. The everyday problems residents face—including road conditions, drainage systems, sidewalks, bridges, street lighting, waste management, cleanliness, garbage collection, canals, public parks, health centers, childcare facilities, schools, athletic fields, and elderly care—all fall directly under BMC responsibility.
Rangsun stated that Bangkok has an annual budget of nearly 100 billion baht, and the BMC has a duty to scrutinize, filter, and ensure every baht of city funds is used to address Laksai residents' problems effectively. If Bangkok's budget is allocated more seriously and consistently to tackle existing, recurring problems in the area, many issues residents endure daily could genuinely change.
"I believe the BMC seat is the closest position to the community and can solve problems in concrete, tangible ways. This is why I am determined to run for the Laksai BMC seat again. Previously, I ran twice and lost by only 198 votes, and today I am asking for another opportunity," Rangsun said.
Rangsun noted that over nearly 20 years, he has accumulated experience working intensively in the area through both government and private sector roles, caring for Laksai residents directly or indirectly during every crisis. He has always believed that Laksai is not merely a voting base but a community he is genuinely committed to, and he wants to see a real improvement in residents' quality of life.
