The election campaign for Bangkok governor heated up on Saturday after Economic Party leader Kris Potranan alleged systemic corruption within the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA).
Mr Kris claimed a group he described as the “Agong regime” — a de facto “shadow governor” network — operated behind the scenes of the administration of incumbent Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt, who is running for a second term. Mr Chadchart earlier this week denied the claim.
