Former New Economics party leader Mingkwan Saengsuwan has announced his split from the party’s leadership to become an opposition MP.

He said he recently received a phone call, from the acting leader of the New Economics party, asking him whether he was aware of the party’s decision to leave the opposition alliance, but when he asked the reason of the separation, his caller simply hung up and did not call again.

Mingkwan admitted that he was in a dilemma because, during last year’s election campaign, he had announced that his party would not support members of the former junta and that is why his party chose to join the opposition alliance, keeping an election promise.
