The politicians in Uthaithani Province

Abstract

A Study on “The politicians in Uthaithani Province” aimed to investigate the key success factors used by the successful politicians in Uthaithani Province. The population or the key informants consisted of 20 representatives of Uthaithani Province from. the past until January 2012. The data were collected using an interview, aiming at the key informants and relevant persons, including their intimate persons relatives and colleagues who could provide information of the politicians. However, some of them had already been passed away, some could not be connected and some did not want to be interviewed.  Due to the limitation previously mentioned, secondary sources were partly employed instead of an interview. The results revealed that the politicians’ background, popularization, situations and political culture, and the relationship between their networks were the key success factors contributing to their success in each election.  However, those factors might be changed in the future depending upon the form of election, its procedure, and Uthaithani residents’ way of lives.
