Previous Democrat leader Chuan Leekpai reiterated his position on Tuesday that the party should certainly ally with the Pheu Thai-led state, saying that this was in line with his message to voters during the election campaign for 2023.
Mr. Chuan said Pheu Thai’s claim that it would prioritize the development of counties that had backed it in elections over different regions had irritated him particularly.
Because Pheu Thai did not win a solitary chair in the southern area, a standard Democrat stronghold, Mr. Chuan said his remarks must have had an impact on citizens.
The former Trang MP and former prime minister said he was worried about those who were being let down by Pheu Thai’s view rather than out of personal gain.
He claimed that for this purpose, he had also not supported Srettha Thavisin, the party’s former prime minister.
Mr. Chuan refuted rumors that he was being fired from the party, saying that anyone who disregarded the group’s decision may face legal action.
His comment came amid reports that the Democrats, led by Chalermchai Sri-on, appear poised to enter the opposition and join the coalition government.
Mr. Chuan claimed that Mr. Chalermchai had formerly promised to strengthen the Democrats ‘ antagonism while ensuring that they would not lose support in upcoming elections. If the group found a way to address its shortcomings, the Democrats would probably win more seats, he said.
The individuals cited in media reports as throwing their bit with the new authorities have not confirmed those reports, according to Democratic deputy president Chaichana Detdecho, who claimed the group had not been invited by Pheu Thai to join the alliance.
The group has concise instructions on this subject. Second, there must be an invitation]to meet the government ] which will be discussed by the group’s managers and MPs”, he said.
According to rumor, the Democrat Party could hold two governmental positions in the new government, with Det-it Khaothong serving as party secretary-general and Det-it Chalermchai serving as minister of natural resources and environment, respectively.
These slots are regarded as belonging to the divided Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ), led by Gen. Prawit Wongsuwon, who may not be in the government.
