The election authorities have officially concluded the registration period for candidates running in the House of Representatives by-election for Constituency 3 in Udon Thani province. A total of three individuals successfully submitted their candidacies, setting the stage for a competitive local political race involving both major political party representation and smaller political organizations.
The official candidate list features the following individuals:
- Candidate Number 1: Mr. Khachit Chainikom, New Democracy Party
- Candidate Number 2: Mr. Athikan Kaewkruasri, Bhumjaithai Party
- Candidate Number 3: Mr. Khamphan Chanthachon, Phue Ban Mueang Party
Candidate Number 2, Mr. Athikan Kaewkruasri representing the Bhumjaithai Party, carries strong local ties as he is the son-in-law of the late Mr. Rang Thurapol, a former Member of Parliament for Udon Thani under the same party banner, whose passing created the parliamentary vacancy necessitating this by-election.
Constituency-level by-elections often carry unique local dynamics compared to general elections. Local networks, established family political ties, and grassroots loyalty from previous representatives frequently play a decisive role in voter behavior, even when minor parties are actively contesting the seat.
Following the application closure, the Election Director for Constituency 3 is mandated to publicly announce the official list of candidates within seven days, which falls by August 12, 2026. These notices will be posted openly at polling stations, surrounding areas, or other designated public locations.
Voters in Constituency 3 will head to the polls on Sunday, August 30, 2026. Voting stations will be open to eligible citizens starting from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM.
