Working Team Won't Field Bangkok Council Chair Candidate
The Working Team group will not field a candidate for Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Council chairman, instead supporting the party with the most election votes in line with democratic principles. Group leader Dr. Duangrit Banjachikul
The 'Working Team' group has announced it will not field any candidates for Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Council chairman, citing democratic principles. Group leader Dr. Duangrit Banjachikul made the announcement on July 2, responding to nominations of three candidates: Wiputh Srivahuai, Chayada Vibhatiphum, and Netiphumi Mingrajiralay.
Dr. Duangrit clarified that the group will support the party with the most votes in the recent election to lead the council, in accordance with democratic principles. When asked about alleged "secret plans," he firmly denied their existence, stating such tactics are not part of the Working Team's approach. He noted that political discussions between allies are natural, but emphasized there are no hidden schemes or backroom deals.
Addressing criticism that the group has abandoned its campaign promise to "remove politics from the council," Dr. Duangrit reiterated the group's commitment to keeping politics out of council operations. He stressed that the Working Team prioritizes work and can collaborate with anyone who shares good ideas and wants to benefit Bangkok. The group maintains it will work transparently with all parties regardless of political differences.
