Sukhumbhand Paribatra who is facint accusations of mismanagement.The party, he said, is accountable to residents of Bangkok who voted for the governor particularly when the governor was mired in corruption accusations.Ong-art disclosed that there is a coordination problem between the governor and the party and the governor did not answer the phone calls of the party leader, Mr Abhisit Vejjajiva, or returned his calls.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/democrat-party-asks-ncpo-to-ease-ban-on-political-activities -- Thai PBS 2015-12-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneday Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 "...because it could not receive contributions from its supporters and financial support from government’s fund for political parties..." That is exactly why they are doing this. They fear the opposition and are doing everything they can to stamp it out before the next election.
