The Democrat Party is fending off a challenge from its own coalition partner, Palang Pracharath, in a by-election that will be held on Sunday in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
The by-election in Constituency 3 will not alter the political landscape as the coalition led by Palang Pracharath has a comfortable majority in the House. However, it has attracted national attention after the Democrats, led by sacked MP Thepthai Senpong, attacked Palang Pracharath for lacking “political etiquette” by fielding a candidate in the traditional Democrat stronghold.
