Abhisit said he has seen reports that Somchai is interested in joining the Democrat Party and Somchai told him months ago, after he was removed from the EC, that he wanted to work in politics as a Democrat member.
Abhisit said he did not know who Somchai has talked to in the latest move but he would welcome the former EC member if he wanted to join the party.
Abhisit said he would discuss with Somchai his possible role in the party if he becomes a Democrat member.
