The eleventh election for the governorship of Bangkok was held on 22 May 2022.[1] It took place 9 years after the latest election in 2013, long delayed due to the 2014 coup d'état.[2][3]
Chadchart Sittipunt, an independent candidate who was a member of the Pheu Thai Party, won the election in a landslide. He gained over 1.38 million votes, breaking the record set by Sukhumbhand Paribatra in 2013. Chadchart won an outright majority—over 1 million votes more than the second leading candidate, Suchatvee Suwansawat, who contested for the Democrat Party.[4][5][6][7]
