Suthep’s lawyer seeks registration of new party

By THE NATION

 

 

THE LAWYER of politician Suthep Thaugsuban yesterday applied to register a new party under the name Ruam Palang Prachachat Thai with the Election Commission (EC) and firmly denied that Suthep was a party executive.

 

Suthep, a former politician who had won massive popularity when he led the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) in 2013, only played an advisory role, lawyer Taweesak na Takuathung said. But the party may invite him to become a member, he added.

 

The application was made yesterday with 32 founding members. Among them were Taweesak himself and Suthep’s brother Thanee Thaugsuban, a former Democrat MP.

 

The name of the head of the political reform committee, Anek Laothamatas, was not seen in the list although in the past week his name had circulated in news reports as the leader of the new PDRC-dominated party.

Other members, Taweesak said, were businesspersons, academics and ordinary citizens.

 

Taweesak denied the party was under Suthep’s influence or was another branch of the Democrat Party.

 

Taweesak yesterday also sought the permission of the National Council for Peace and Order, through the EC, to hold a party meeting. The meeting has been scheduled tentatively for next Sunday, he said.

"...and firmly denied that Suthep was a party executive..."

 

 

I don't care if Suthep runs or gets involved, although I would prefer that he have a car accident, but...

 

I am fed up with the insults to my intelligence. 

 

How stupid do they think we all are?

Who could ever believe that a party registered by Suthep's lawyer would be under Suthep's influence? ?

That is about same true, like that Thaksin is not the puppet master of Pheu Thai.

Suthep is King of Lizards!

I feel sad to Thailand.

Will be interesting to see how the party will campaign against the Dem in the same support base. 

 

Wonder if the 8 ex-PDRC senior leaders who re-join the Dem will again resign and join Suthep’s party. 

I know! He should have called it the Total Sh!tb@gs Party, what better name to stamp a party led by  corrupt weasels who create problems for everybody to their own ends??

 

 

Or, the selfish grinning bastards amazed at the lack of discernment and total gullibility of Thai people, but still happy to work the system into the ground while parking our cash overseas party.
