Voters will back honest, hard-working candidates: poll

Bangkok voters prefer a governor candidate who is honest and hard-working, according to a public opinion poll.

Almost 40 per cent of the 1,215 people surveyed said they would vote for the candidate who is honest and has a good image, according to results of the survey by Rajabhat Suan Dusit University's Suan Dusit Poll. Another 39 per cent said they were looking for a candidate who is hard-working, patient and responsible.

More than 47 per cent of the respondents said they would support the candidate who had a platform they liked, particularly regarding measures to ease traffic congestion, preventing flooding, and turning Bangkok into a better city.

The survey was conducted between Monday and Friday.
