Bangkoks Gouverneurswahlen 2022

Der Erdrutschsieg des unabhängigen Kandidaten Chadchart hat Signalwirkung für die Parlamentswahlen 2023

Der 22. Mai markiert normalerweise den Jahrestag des Militärputsches von 2014 in Thailand. In diesem Jahr fiel er jedoch mit den Gouverneurswahlen in Bangkok zusammen – den ersten Lokalwahlen in der Hauptstadt seit neun Jahren und damit seit der Machtergreifung durch das Militär. Ende März 2022 wurde offiziell angekündigt, dass die Wahl des Gouverneurs von Bangkok zwei Monate später stattfinden würde. Der offizielle Wahlkampf war daher kurz, aber lebhaft: 31 Kandidaten bewarben sich um das Amt. Viele Umfragen hatten den Sieg des unabhängigen Kandidaten Chadchart Sittipunt vorhergesagt, aber nicht sein Rekordergebnis. Auch bei den parallel stattfindenden Stadtratswahlen gab es Überraschungen: Die beiden größten Oppositionsparteien, Pheu Thai und Move Forward, erhielten zusammen mehr als zwei Drittel der Sitze.
