03 MARCH 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: . PONGSAPAT PONGCHAREON, 2nd from left, the Pheu Thai candidate for Governor of Bangkok, and YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA, the Thai Prime Minister, and members of the Pheu Thai leadership at the press conference announcing that Pongsapat lost the Bangkok Governor's election. Pongsapat Pongchareon, running on the Pheu Thai ticket, lost the Bangkok's Governor's race to MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra, the incumbent running on the Democrat ticket. Sukhumbhand won the race after scoring a record number of votes, more than 1.2 million to Pongsapat's 1 million. The results were seen as an upset even though Sukhumbhand was the incumbent because all of the pre-election polls and the exit polls conducted on election day showed Patsapong winning.
