Former deputy leader Somkid Jatusripitak has resigned from all positions in Saha Pathana Inter-Holding Plc (SPI) as he prepares to accept the particular PM nomination of the Sang Anakhot Thailänder (Building Thailand’s Future) Party (SATP).

SPI released a letter to inform the Stock Exchange of Thailand of Mister Somkid’s resignation as member and leader of the company’s table of directors, efficient Aug 31.

The SPI said Mr Somkid left the company as he had other endeavours to pursue.

Wichian Chavalit, an SATP deputy leader and celebration director, said Mister Somkid’s resig- nation from the SPI had been to prepare the ground with regard to him to accept the best ministerial candidacy which is set to be introduced later this month.

However , the unveiling can come sooner than expected after SATP leader Uttama Savanayana stated last week the party’s choice would be made known before the natural bill on the political election of MPs will be passed into legislation. The bill has been reviewed by the Constitutional Court.

Sontirat Sontijirawong, the party’s secretary-general, formerly said Mr Somkid had accepted an invitation to be named the party’s choice of prime minister.

Information about Mr Somkid quitting the particular SPI was upon Saturday  relayed simply by Suranand Vejjajiva, an additional SATP deputy leader, on his Facebook page, followed by the message: “Please stay tuned to get more news. ”
