Chiang Mai by-election to cost Bt10 million: EC

The upcoming by-election in Chiang Mai is expected to cost Bt10 million while the resigning politician does not have to pay for it, Election Commission member Prapun Naigowit said Monday.

However, he said the EC had already proposed changes to the law on local administration election so that an incumbent position holder who resigns before the term end should pay for the cost of by-election but the law passing is still under progress.
