New leader elected for Thai Economic Party

[webfact]

 

The Thai Economic Party elected Gen. Wit Devahastin na Ayudhya as its party leader and Thammanat Prompao as its secretary-general at a general assembly held yesterday (Friday).

 

Both General Wit and Thammanat held senior positions in the ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP). The general was the party’s chief strategist, while Thammanat, a controversial figure, was the secretary-general. Thammanat and 20 other MPs loyal to him got sacked from the party in January. Most of the Thai Economic Party executive board members are former PPRP MPs. General Wit resigned from the party in February.

 

After the general assembly, Wit announced that the Thai Economic Party vowed to build the party into a political institution upon which the people can depend.
