Former protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban has vouched for Bangkok governor candidate Sakoltee Phattiyakul as he is running independently and has a proven track record of fighting against "Thaksinocracy".
Mr Suthep, who led the now-defunct People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) protest movement against the Pheu Thai Party-led administration, which was subsequently toppled by the 2014 coup, urged Bangkok voters to elect Mr Sakoltee who has been trailing in opinion polls. Mr Sakoltee fought side by side with Mr Suthep as an active PDRC co-leader.
