Political careers
[edit]He entered politics for the first time as a candidate for constituency 4, Bangkok (Bang Sue, Chatuchak, Phaya Thai, Lak Si) under the Democrat Party in the general elections at the end of 2007, along with Boonyod Sookthinthai and Atavit Suwannapakdee, without his father being involved in any way. All three were elected.
In the 2011 general elections, he ran as a constituency 11 candidate for the Lak Si and Don Mueang (only Sanam Bin sub-district) districts of Bangkok, but lost to Surachart Thienthong of the Pheu Thai Party, the third son of Sanoh Thienthong, a veteran and influential politician.
Sakoltee joined the 2013–2014 anti-government protests and became one of the frontline leaders of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), alongside Buddhipongse Punnakanta, Nataphol Teepsuwan and Chumpol Julsai, owing they are fellow former Democrat MPs and young men of the same age. Therefore, they received the nickname "The Four Musketeers".[4]
In 2018, after a coup by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), he became a member of the Phalang Pracharat Party. Soon after, he was appointed as the deputy governor of Bangkok by order of Pol Gen Aswin Kwanmuang, the Bangkok governor.[1][3]
