Former commerce minister Mingkwan Saengsuwan announced the establishment of his own party today (Wednesday), with the intention to contest the next general election.

 

Named “Okart Thai” (Thai Opportunity), Mingkwan explained that he chose the name because of his belief that all Thai people should have opportunities.

 

Having made a shocking move in announcing his resignation as a member of parliament in the middle of the general debate in February, saying that he did not feel happy in his legislative role for the past two years, Mingkwan claims that he has been preparing to form his own party for about three years since he quit as the leader of the New Economics Party.

Maybe thinks more 'pulling power' to get a good job in the government if his party agrees to join a coalition.

Yes! More opportunities for the people to watch the fat cats get fatter.

"Okart Thai"?

 

I think that party moniker is a misnomer, Shouldn't it rather be "Okart Mingkwan"?
