Current events in Thai politics have taken an intriguing turn, as Thailand’s Democrat Party brings clarity to the speculative narratives taking a toll on its collective integrity. Reports revealing that a number of their members—over fifty percent, as per the grapevine, are shifting alliances to a coalition led by Pheu Thai, a notable political party in Thailand, have been dutifully shunned by the Democrats.
The Democrats, led by their eloquent spokesman, Ramet Rattanachaweng, confronted these conjectures assertively. “To casually suggest that our stringent party member list, populated by 25 well-established MPs, including our acting secretary-general, Chalermchai Sri-on, is dwindling down from a count of 25 to a meagre nine, is a gross overstatement, to say the least”, exclaims Ramet.
Conversations insinuating the potential inclusion of the supposed group of 16 MPs in the forthcoming government were met with a firm denial from Ramet. The Democrats regard their stance towards the selection of Pheu Thai’s Prime Minister nominee, Srettha Thavisin, as an issue still on the table. However, any decision would involve an in-depth evaluation of Pheu Thai’s policy framework, particularly changes proposed to Section 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the lese majeste law.
Ramet re-affirmed the Democrats’ hardened opposition towards the modification of Section 112, a matter they deem non-negotiable. Any party propounding contrary views would indisputably not receive their backing. Piled pressure to rally behind the Move Forward Party in the prime minister’s electoral race is simultaneously at play. Ramet divulged, “Our priority echoes the desires of the 14 million citizens who cast their vote favouring the Move Forward Party. At the same time, every assurance is extended to our own supporters, to whom we need to relay the essence of our internal policies effectively.”
The Democrats are to postpone their planned meet dedicated to plausibly select a new leader and executive board. Although intended to take place on the forthcoming Sunday, a future date revealing revised plans is due shortly. A recent directive has been issued by the Democrat Party’s registrar, Wirat Romyen. It enlists a mandate for a bare minimum of 25 attendees from each region, including North, South, Northeast, Central, and Bangkok, to maintain a regional balance. This flies in the face of the present situation where MPs are significantly outnumbered from the South, as reported by Bangkok Post.
