Bangkok voters split over PPP and Democrats: poll
Candidates from the
People Power Party (PPP) and the Democrats are neck and neck in eight out of 12 Bangkok constituencies, a Ramkhamhaeng University survey showed Wednesday.
The eight constituencies are 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. The gap is between one and two per cent, according to the poll.
The PPP's constituency MP candidates were ahead of their Democrat rivals in 21 of 36 Bangkok seats. (There are three seats per constituency.)
The poll found that in constituencies 1 and 2, candidates from the Democrat would win, while in constituency 4 and 12 the
PPP would win.
The survey also suggested wellknown candidates from other parties such as Janista Liewchalermwong from
Chart Thai and Nitipoom Navaratna from the Puea Pandin party were less popular.
Ramkhamhaeng University polled 3,449 Bangkok voters between November 2427 in cooperation with MCOT and the Nation Group.
