Pheu Thai Party Plans By-Election Bid in Sa Kaeo
The Pheu Thai Party is preparing to nominate Sorawong Thienthong for the upcoming by-election in Sa Kaeo’s 3rd constituency following the passing of the incumbent.
On October 27, 2026, Prasert Chantararuangthong, Secretary-General of the Pheu Thai Party and Minister of Education, announced that the party intends to field Sorawong Thienthong as its candidate for the by-election in Sa Kaeo’s 3rd constituency. The seat became vacant following the death of the previous MP, Surasak Chingnawan.
According to Khaosod Online, the party is confident in reclaiming the district, noting that Sorawong, who serves as a deputy leader of the party, has maintained a consistent presence in the area, including providing assistance to residents during recent flooding. In the previous general election, Sorawong secured the second-highest number of votes in the district.
For residents and those monitoring local political developments, this by-election represents a significant test of political influence in the province. While the party leadership has signaled its strong intention to nominate Sorawong, the final decision remains subject to formal approval by the Pheu Thai Party’s executive committee. No official date for the by-election has been confirmed, and the party is expected to finalize its candidate selection process in the coming days. Observers should monitor official announcements from the Election Commission of Thailand for the confirmed polling schedule.
