This morning, three political candidates at Phuket Election Committee (PEC) arrived at Phuket Provincial Hall welcomed by a large crowd of supporters.

First to register, at 8:30am, was Bhumjaithai Party candidate Jirayus Songyos, who will contest Phuket Constituency 2. The second applicant was Pheu Thai Party candidate Wisit Jai-arj, who will run in Constituency 1. He was followed by Pheu Thai Constituency 2 candidate Saman Kebsap.

Only two supporters were allowed to escort the applicants inside the PEC office, which left hundreds of supporters to cheer for them outside the building.

By about 9:30am, all three candidates had completed registering and then paid courtesy calls on government officials working at Provincial Hall, presenting them with campaign leaflets.

Expected to register when the office reopens tomorrow morning are Anchalee Vanich Thepabutr and Raewat Areerob of the Democrat Party.
