Democrat Party, April 21- "Ong-ardt" clarified Uncle Pom's letter implicating the Democrat Party, confirming that "Abhisit" resigned after knowing that the party lost the election.
Mr. Ongart Klampaiboon, deputy leader of the Democrat Party, mentioned General Prawit Wongsuwan's article on how to form a government. Written on Facebook alluding to the Democrat Party, “Party leader Khun Abhisit Vejjajiva announced that he would not allow General Prayuth Chan-o-cha as Prime Minister But when it's time to form a government The Democratic Party is joined by a new party leader. but Khun Abhisit resigned with the benefit of many people to claim" that
The message that General Prawit wrote is still inaccurate from the truth. Because in fact, Mr. Abhisit has announced his resignation from the party leader. Since the night of March 24, 2019, after knowing the unofficial results of the election that we have fewer elected MPs than before By resigning, this is a demonstration of the spirit of responsibility for the results of the elections that have occurred.
As for joining the Democratic Party's government at that time, Mr. Ongart said it happened after the election of a new executive committee. And a new party leader was elected on May 15, 2019. After that, a meeting of the party executive committee and party MPs was held on June 4, 2019, and a resolution was approved. Joined the government with a majority of 61 votes and 16 voted against.
“From the aforementioned facts, it can be seen that while Abhisit resigned from party leadership on the night the election results were known The Democratic Party does not yet have a new party leader. Until two months have passed, a new party leader has been appointed. And after almost 3 months, the Democrat Party had a resolution to join the government. So it's not a matter of having a new party leader. therefore telling Khun Abhisit to resign in order for the Democrat Party to join the government in any way Therefore, the Democrat Party hopes that General Prawit will understand the truth of the reason why Abhisit resigned from the party leadership. And the context of joining the party's government in 2019 can continue to increase, ”said Mr. Ongart.-Thai News Agency
