The People's Party (PP) is favoured to dominate the upcoming Bangkok Metropolitan Council (BMC) election, as strategic voting is likely to shape the contest, which coincides with the city's gubernatorial election on Sunday.
It is widely speculated in political circles that strategic voting could propel the PP to the largest share of council seats. Projections suggest the party could secure at least 20 of the council's 50 seats, emerging as the biggest winners. Meanwhile, independent candidates running under the "Khon Tam Ngan" (Working People) banner and the Democrat Party are each forecast to win around 14–15 seats, according to political analysts.
