Former Democrat MP Phichet announces his retirement

He posted on his Facebook wall that he decided to leave politics because he is now 70 years old and has been in politics long enough.
He said he was the first Krabin MP who has been elected for 22 consecutive years.
In the message, he said he went to cast his vote on February 2 but his polling station was closed.
He said Democrat members should not block people from casting votes in any election.
He said he could not support rallies because he did not want to see more people killed.
