Former Thai Rak Thai Party executives of so-called 111 Club held a meeting at the Pheu Thai head office Wednesday to prepare special activities after their five-year ban expires at the end of this month.
About 50 former Thai Rak Thai executives arrived at the meeting room on floor 10A of the Pheu Thai head office at 9.30 am.
Those who turned up for the meeting, included Chaturon Chaisaeng, Pongthep Thepkanchana, Chidchai Wannasathit, Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, Bhokin Palakula, Warathep Ratanakorn, Adisorn Piangket, Virakarn Musikapong, and Phumtham Wetchayachai.
Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan and Suranan Vejjajiva did not attend. Sudarat had informed the meeting organisers that she would be busy with a foreign trip while Suranan, the personal spokesman of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, said he was busy with government duties.
All the former Thai Rak Thai executive carried a red sticker on their chest with the word “visitor”.
In front of the meeting room, a banner was displayed, saying “Welcome to my home, former Thai Rak Thai executives”.
During the meeting, Chaturon complained that 109 former executives had to suffer allegations against two former executives and this was not fair to them.
Veerakorn Khamprakorb, a former Thai Rak Thai executive, said he would host a TV programme on Asia Update satellite TV and would be willing to allow other former Thai Rak Thai members to go on air with him.
