Narupon Yenprasert: Profile of Nonthaburi PAO Candidate

Local politics in Nonthaburi province has drawn renewed attention after the Phueng Luang group, joined by about 30 former provincial council members, held their final meeting to select a candidate for the upcoming Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) presidential election. The search for a new candidate was initiated following the death of former PAO President Pol. Col. Thongchai Yenprasert, who was shot and killed by Chalong Riewraeng, a former multi-term member of the House of Representatives for Nonthaburi.

Following the meeting, members voted unanimously to nominate Narupon Yenprasert as the Phueng Luang group's official candidate for the Nonthaburi PAO presidency. As a relative of the late former president, Narupon brings both professional background and family ties to this upcoming local political race in the province.

Regarding his personal background and family, Narupon Yenprasert is currently 57 years old. He is the son of Narong Yenprasert, a former Nonthaburi provincial council member and the older brother of the late Pol. Col. Thongchai Yenprasert. Nominating a family member marks a strategic effort to maintain political continuity and local support in Nonthaburi province.
