Abisit to lead Democrats for fourth term
Abhisit Vejjajiva was re-elected on Tuesday as Democrat party leader for the fourth consecutive term in the party's general assembly.
Abhisit, who received 98 per cent of the votes and was nominated by party adviser Banyat Banthatthan, thanked party members for their support. There was no competition to his candidacy.
Former Asean secretary general Surin Pitsuwan, earlier rumoured for selection as party leader to enhance the party’s image, also attended the meeting but could not vote, as he is not an exexecutive board member nor a former MP
