An election victory for independent governor candidate Chadchart Sittipunt on Sunday could ease intense political polarisation in the next general election, says a political scientist.
A triumph for Mr Chadchart could have far-reaching political implications as it might bridge the divide between government supporters and opponents, Stithorn Thananithichot, director of the Office of Innovation for Democracy at King Prajadhipok's Institute, told the Bangkok Post.
