On August 17, 2026, Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, leader of the People's Party (PP), announced the candidacy of Decharut Sukkamnerd for the by-election of the Chief Executive of the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO). According to Khaosod Online, the by-election follows the passing of the former Chief Executive, Police Colonel Thongchai Yenprasert.

Natthaphong stated that the party intends to register its candidate on August 20, 2026, out of respect for the mourning period following the former leader's death. Decharut, who currently serves as the Director of the People's Party's Future Policy Center, is campaigning on a platform featuring 20 specific policies aimed at addressing local issues in Nonthaburi. The party is emphasizing a campaign slogan centered on the concept of a 'New Nonthaburi.'

For residents and those living in the Nonthaburi area, this election is significant as it will determine the leadership responsible for local provincial administration, infrastructure, and public services. While the party has outlined its intent and candidate, the official list of all contenders and the final election date remain to be confirmed by the Election Commission. Residents should monitor local announcements regarding the voting process and the full slate of candidates to understand how these leadership changes might impact provincial policy and local governance.
