Some 4,000 so-called "red-shirt villages" declared yesterday they had joined together to strengthen the "fight against dictatorship" and help bring former premier Thaksin Shinawatra back to Thailand.
About 200 representatives from the red-shirt villages met in Udon Thani yesterday and voted Pol Second Lieutenant Kamolsilp Singhasuriya as chairman of the Red-Shirts Village for Democracy Federation.
He said the federation would act as a coordination centre for red-shirt villages and promote the establishment of more such villages nationwide.
Former charter drafter Kanin Boonsuwan and Prasong Boonpong, a former deputy leader of the now-defunct People’s Power Party, also joined the event.
