By-election Scheduled for Sa Kaeo Constituency 3
The Thai Cabinet has approved a royal decree to hold a by-election in Sa Kaeo's 3rd constituency on December 6, 2026, following the vacancy left by Surasak Chingnawan.
On October 27, 2026, the Thai Cabinet officially approved a draft royal decree to conduct a by-election for the Member of Parliament (MP) seat in Sa Kaeo Province, Constituency 3. This decision follows the vacancy created by the termination of Surasak Chingnawan’s membership on October 24, 2026, in accordance with Section 101 (2) of the Constitution.
According to Deputy Government Spokesperson Ploy-Talay Laksameesangchan, the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) proposed the measure to fill the vacant seat. The official timeline for the election has been set for December 6, 2026. Candidates interested in running for the seat are scheduled to register between November 11 and November 15, 2026.
For residents and travelers in the Sa Kaeo area, this political development may lead to increased campaign activities, including rallies and public gatherings, in the weeks leading up to the December vote. While the election is a localized political event, those in the region should be aware of potential traffic disruptions or heightened activity near polling stations and campaign offices. As the process moves forward, the Election Commission is expected to release further details regarding specific polling locations and official campaign regulations. Residents are encouraged to monitor local news for updates on candidate platforms and any potential changes to local administrative procedures during the election period.
