Prominent members of Thailand‘s Democrat Party have dismissed claims that they are considering joining the coalition led by the Move Forward Party (MFP).

 

These rumours emerged on Thursday night after the formation of a 10-party alliance, suggesting that a group of winning Democrat candidates close to acting party secretary-general Chalermchai Sri-on were seeking to approach the MFP and Pheu Thai to join the coalition. Det-it Khaothong and Chaichana Dejdecho, who won House seats in Songkhla and Nakhon Si Thammarat, were reportedly leading the move.

 

Chaichana Dejdecho refuted the reports, stating they were entirely false and may have been released to gauge Democrat opinions after some parties had declared their stance. He affirmed the party’s commitment to not supporting the abolition of the lese majeste law, not tolerating corruption, and not allowing the uncontrolled use of cannabis.

 

However, he noted that the party’s future would be decided after a new party executive is elected and the election winners are endorsed by the Election Commission, Bangkok Post reported.

Dead and buried already.

They turned their backs on democracy and got into bed with the junta.
They are now irrelevant.

Karma eh?

The entire election in Thailand is nothing more than a facade; true democracy is non-existent. The manipulation of elections has been occurring consistently since 2014. It is difficult to fathom how he can manage to secure more than 60 senators unless he drastically changes his stance and transforms into a mere replica of the Pheu Thai Party, essentially becoming a Pheu Thai Party 2.0.
