Academics say the victory of independent candidate Chadchart Sittipunt in Bangkok's gubernatorial election and the gains made by the Pheu Thai and Move Forward parties in the capital's councillor polls only reflect the political sentiment in major cities.
According to unofficial city council election results from 50 districts, the Pheu Thai Party took the most seats with 20, followed by Move Forward with 14, Democrats (9), Rak Bangkok group (3), Palang Pracharath Party (2) and Thai Sang Thai Party (2).
