Former PM Thaksin Shinawatra has succeeded in convincing Mingkwan Sangsuwan, Supol Fongngam and Snoh Thienthong to stay with Pheu Thai Party in the upcoming election, a party source said.

After reports of conflicts, and plans by a group of key members, including General Chavalit Yongchaiyudh, to join hands and form a new party, a source who asked not to be named said that a well-respected key member of Pheu Thai had succeeded in mediating between Mingkwan and Thaksin.

In March, Mingkwan led the opposition's censure debate against the government and announced he was ready to be a prime minister candidate. However, there has been no clear answer from Thaksin, the de-facto leader of the party, as to whom to propose for the post. Amid reports of conflicts in the party, Mingkwan in the meantime has kept a low profile and did not join the party meeting.

Through Uraiwan Thienthong, wife of Pracharaj Party leader Snoh, Thaksin agreed to accept all of Snoh's children into the Pheu Thai Party. The Pracharaj Party, in the meantime, would be kept as an alternative party in case Pheu Thai is dissolved, the source said.

Snoh early last month announced that he was joining hands with Pheu Thai but later said he had changed his mind.

In the first interview after the reports of the new party-forming plan, Supol - former Pheu Thai secretary-general and Mingkwan's close aide - denied the reports, saying internal conflicts are normal for members of a big party.

He denied reports that the Pheu Thai Party would not field him as a constituency MP candidate but it was up to his own decision.

The party's special meeting on Tuesday - when the new party executive will be selected - should give more clarity about the party's candidate lists, he said.

Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit said Thaksin would this evening speak through video link at the party's two rallies in Phitsanulok and Ayutthaya.

Party MPs such as Jatuporn Promphan, Apiwan Wiriyachai and Chinnicha Wongsawat yesterday joined a mass rally in Chiang Mai attended by thousands of people attended.

In a separate development, Industry Minister and Tak MP Chaiwuti Bannawat of the Democrat Party said he would again run in the constituency MP election as it was gave him a chance to be closer to people than being on the party list.

In Ayutthaya, Matubhum Party leader General Sonthi Boonyaratglin yesterday visited Muslim people to promote the party. He said he did not hope to get constituency MPs but expected to get party-list MPs, especially with support from Muslims.

Thaksin buries differences with Mingkwan, Snoh

I suppose he will bury it next to a certain prominent "ex"- muslim lawyer.

Thaksin is good at burying things!

Is this what you would call a Snoh Job?

The reconciliation with Mingkwan seems to be based on a visit to his home by a Thaksin enforcer after Mingkwan failed to take any of Dr Evil's calls. What would you expect Mingkwan to say when he hasn't yet finished preparing his revenge for the massive loss of face he has suffered after Thaksin publicly declared he was a useless leader. The fact that it was true is irrelevant.

So who's next? Chalerm? I wonder how much Thaksin had to promise Minkwan & Snoh to get them back into the snakes' nest?

Back up the claim or retract it. Otherwise you have engaged in libel. You are claiming an "enforcer" was used, when in fact tall that occurred had been some wavering and the staking out of negotiating position. The end decision was the result of political negotiations and a change of heart after sober reflection.

Basically you are calling Mr. Thaksin a murderer and alleging he of buried the alleged victim. Back it up or retract the claim. The courts don't share your view. Your post may meet the definition of libel in Thailand.

Basically,throughout history, people who were at the top of any organization, be it government or crime syndicate, (in some nations, this is one and the same) have been accused of murder even though they themselves did not actually pull the trigger or twist the blade.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot, Suharto, Sukarno,Marcos, Thaksin, Bush, Reagan etc ad nauseum. All have been accused of murder by some group of people. Thaksin did order the crackdown on drug dealers resulting in extra judicail killings, the case of Somchai Neelapaijit still lingers over Thaksin's head as does the Tak Bai incident.

You state "The end decision was the result of political negotiations and a change of heart after sober reflection."

Part of your sentence ''''''was the result of....... or in other words you say their decision was categorically....

Back up your claim or it's libelous.

Some of your posts in the past have been equally as bad. Pot and kettle.

I in no way implied Thaksin was involved in this event, I merely used it as a comparison of of how things can be buried...
