The Democrat Party, Thailand’s oldest political party, has been dealt another blow with the resignation of one of its most senior members Trairong Suwankiri on Thursday.

 

Trairong, an advisor of the party, gave no reason for his resignation but said in a Facebook post that he decided to quit “despite my love for the Democrat Party”.

 

Trairong is only the latest veteran politician to quit the Democrat Party. It’s not immediately clear whether he will join another political party despite speculation that he has been courted by Ruam Thai Sang Chart, a new political party set up by supporters of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.

Like rats off a sinking ship! ????

The journalist should investigate why he is leaving, as he said despite he loves the party... There is more going on apparently.

"......he has been courted by Ruam Thai Sang Chart, a new political party set up by supporters of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha."

 

Why on Earth would a so called democrat have anything to do with a party that supports anyone who came to power by means of a coup?
