Mr Yuranan said he accepted defeat and would like to congratulate Mr Tankhun.
"I'll take all the blame for this loss. I had only 18 days to campaign while Mr Tankhun has had two years," Mr Yuranan said. "If I had a week or two more, the difference of about 2,000 votes would not have been a problem."
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Minister Anudith Nakornthap, also a Pheu Thai member, said Pheu Thai accepted the voters' decision.
In Takkiland waere sowas natuerlich nicht vorgekommen!
Da haette man dafuer gesorgt dass "richtig" gezaehlt wuerde.
Zweifellos ein Erfolg fuer die DPen , aber eben nur in Don Mueang.
In ganz Thailand sieht es nach wie vor duester aus.
