Thai activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana to quit Palang Pracharat party

[webfact]

 

Maverick political activist Ruangkrai Leekitwattana has decided to leave Thailand’s ruling Palang Pracharat party, effective Monday, claiming that doing so will give him more freedom to check the performance of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, other ministers, MPs and government officials.

 

He said he has been with the ruling party for about eight months and has been working as a member of the House committee to scrutinise the budget bill for the 2023 fiscal year, under the Palang Pracharat party’s quota.

 

As well as the job on the House committee, he said he has been focusing on independently checking the performance of government officials, political parties and others.

Rats leaving what's appears to get a leaking and sinking ship.

the people who leave will be member of other parties, so that the chance they are elected again again is growing bigger and so the current MP's will be back after the next elections.. and nothing chance only the names of the party

The cracks are widening and people are jumping ship.

Hopefully this is just the beginning of people abandoning a party that embodies corruption, malfeasance, inability to get much done, economic destruction, prioritizing the people last, and a nation in decline. Good on anyone who walks away from the stunk and the foul leadership. 

 

If it were not for Covid, the people would have risen up already. These goons are scared to death of Covid declining.
