Nida Poll Indicates Lead for Naruphon in Nonthaburi PAO Election
A recent survey by the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida) shows Naruphon from the Phueng Luang group leading the race for Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization president.
According to a report by Thai Post on September 6, 2026, the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida) has released the results of its latest public opinion survey regarding the upcoming election for the president of the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO).
The poll indicates that Naruphon, representing the Phueng Luang group, currently holds a lead over his competitor, Decharat. This survey provides a snapshot of voter sentiment in the province, which is a significant administrative area adjacent to Bangkok.
For residents and expatriates living in Nonthaburi, this election is notable as the PAO president oversees local infrastructure, public services, and regional development projects that directly impact daily life and local governance. While the poll offers insight into current political trends, it is important to note that it represents only a specific point in time. The final outcome remains to be determined by the actual ballots cast by the electorate on election day. As the campaign progresses, further developments and official announcements from the Election Commission will be necessary to confirm the final list of candidates and the eventual winner of the race.
