Outgoing Deputy Prime Minister for Security Affairs Suthep Thaugsuban has firmly announced that he will not accept to be the secretary-general of the Democrat Party, after having resigned from the post recently.
The acting secretary-general stated that many people in his Democrat Party, including Democrat Party Chief Advisor and ex-Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai, did agree that outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva should be reappointed the Democrat Party's leader.
Mr Suthep however insisted that he will not take the position of secretary-general of the party once again although he will be re-elected by the party’s meeting. He said he will ask the meeting’s chairperson not to nominate him to the new set of Democrat executives.
The acting secretary-general noted that there are many capable people in his party to perform in his post while he is ready to be one of the party advisors to assist in other affairs. He added that the party should adjust its strategies to build more supporters similar to the Pheu Thai Party.
Mr Suthep voiced no concerns over the task of his party as the opposition although the number of opposition MPs is smaller than the other side. He affirmed that his party will work its best to protect interest of people and will not resort to street politics like the Pheu Thai Party used to do.
