Narupon Yenprasert Declares Victory in Nonthaburi PAO Election
Narupon Yenprasert has announced his victory in the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) election, pledging to continue the legacy of his late uncle, Thongchai Yenprasert.
On September 20, 2026, Narupon Yenprasert, representing the Phung Luang group, declared victory in the race for the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) presidency. According to Khaosod Online, the announcement followed a vote count that reached over 50%, showing Narupon leading his opponent, Decharat Sukkamnerd from the People's Party, by more than 20,000 votes.
Narupon is the nephew of the late Thongchai Yenprasert, who served as the PAO president for five terms. In his victory statement, Narupon emphasized his commitment to continuing all projects initiated by his uncle for the benefit of Nonthaburi residents. Addressing the election results, he expressed a desire for mutual respect between political rivals, noting that he and his team had campaigned extensively throughout the region.
For residents and those living in the Nonthaburi area, this transition marks the continuation of the long-standing political influence of the Yenprasert family within the local administration. While the candidate has declared victory based on the partial count, official confirmation from the Election Commission is the final step to formalize the results. Observers will be watching to see how the new administration prioritizes local infrastructure and public services in the coming term.
