Pheu Thai supporters cheer for Pongsapat Pongchareon, the Pheu Thai Gubernatorial candidate for Bangkok during the last campaign rally of the race. The election is Sunday, March 3 and no campaigning is allowed 24 hours before election day. Police General Pongsapat Pongcharoen (retired), a former deputy national police chief who also served as secretary-general of the Narcotics Control Board is the Pheu Thai Party candidate in the upcoming Bangkok governor's election. He resigned from the police force to run for Governor. Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra reportedly personally recruited Pongsapat. Most of Thailand's reputable polls have reported that Pongsapat is leading in the race and likely to defeat Sukhumbhand Paribatra, the Thai Democrats' candidate and incumbent.
