Former Democrat MP Sathit Wongnongtaey, who has won seven constituency elections in Trang province, has resigned from the party effective Monday, following in the footsteps of former party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva who quit on Saturday.

 

In his Facebook post today, Sathit said that he had been thinking for two days and had discussed quitting the party with his teammates, adding that, although he remains committed to the party’s ideologies, he had come to the conclusion that it has lost its soul.

 

The former MP, who lost in the May 14th general election this year, said that he found the Democrat party under the new leadership, led by Chalermchai Srion, is not the party with which he was familiar and is “lacking its old soul.”
