The Bangkok governor election on Sunday delivered one expected result and one surprise.
Governor Chadchart Sittipunt cruised to a landslide second term, but independent candidate Mallika Boonmeetrakul Mahasuk emerged as the election's biggest surprise, finishing second ahead of People's Party (PP) candidate Chaiwat Sathawornwichit and Democrat Party candidate Anucha Burapachaisri despite lacking the backing of an established political party.
