Mom Rajawongse Sukhumbhand Paribatra (Thai: ม.ร.ว.สุขุมพันธุ์ บริพัตร; RTGSSukhumphan Boriphat, Thai pronunciation: [sùʔkʰǔmpʰan bɔːríʔpʰát]; born 22 September 1953) is a Thai politician belonging to the Democrat Party. From 2009 to 2016 he was the Governor of Bangkok. He was removed from the post in October 2016 by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha who used Section 44 of the interim charter to remove the elected official. The reason given for his ouster was "...because he was involved in many legal cases."[1] He was replaced by Police General Aswin Kwanmuang.[2]
