The Democrat party, the country’s oldest, will meet this Sunday to elect new party leader, after suffering the biggest loss in its history in the May general election.

 

The new party leader will replace Jurin Laksanawisit, who resigned shortly after the initial results of the general election showed the party’s big loss, particularly in Bangkok where it won no parliamentary seats at all.

 

Since the party announced the date for the election of a new party leader, rumours, criticism and speculation have been spreading. Political observers have even detected internal rifts ahead of Sunday’s meeting.
