Bangkok municipal election shows low turnout and party shift
In Bangkok Thailand the government ordered an inquiry into why only about 16 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the citys first municipal election since a 1958 military coup. The Democratic party won 22 of 24 council seats, a sign seen as a rebuff to the military government which backed its own slate. The elected council faces five years with potential dissolution power resting with the Interior Ministry if the body acts against public interests.
