"new political party"

Former New Economics Party MP Mingkwan Saengsuwan told a press conference on Wednesday that he would be the leader and prime minister candidate of a new political party called "Okas Thai" (Thailand's opportunity).

PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday defended the right of four of his ministers to join the pro-junta Palang Pracharath Party, saying it was a “private matter” and they were able to do so as long as it did not affect their ability to do their public duty.

A new political party formed by some leaders of the now-defunct People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) convenes its first meeting on Sunday to launch itself publicly, the co-founders said on Friday.

The Wadah group of Muslim politicians, as well as other former MPs in the three southernmost border provinces, have agreed to form a new political party to contest the next election, a member said on Monday.

A NEW political party has been launched with an apparent reliance on the reputation of the now-defunct Palang Dharma Party, which was popular in Bangkok 30 years ago with its anti-corruption stance and high standards.
