Suchatvee Suwansawat, the Democrat Party’s Bangkok governor candidate, has been asked to stand in the party leadership contest, although he has not decided whether to put his name in the hat, according to a source in the Democrats.
He was wooed to enter the leadership race set for Sunday by members affiliated to Chalermchai Sri-on, former party secretary-general. Mr Suchatvee was approached for the role despite having earlier declined to vie for the top party seat.
Other potential candidates include Watanya Bunnag, who heads the party’s working group on political innovations, Det-it Khaothong, the Democrats’ acting secretary-general, and former Democrat MP Issara Seriwatthanawut.
