District Council
Saphan Sung's district council had seven members serving four-year terms. In the election held on 30 April 2006, the Democrat Party won all seven seats. Bangkok held another district-council election in 2010, but subsequent legal changes suspended district councils; Bangkok now elects only the Bangkok Metropolitan Council.
