Former Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva should return to the helm after Jurin Laksanawisit resigned to take responsibility for the party’s losses in the general election, according to deputy leader Sathit Pitutecha today (Tuesday).
The Democrat party won 26 parliamentary seats in the general election.
He claimed that Abhisit is the appropriate person replace Jurin, adding that party executives will have to sit down and discuss the matter.
He said it is time for the Democrats and former members to join hands so Democrats can make a return as a modern political institution.
Sathit said the party will meet within 60 days to select the new board.
Jurin replaced Abhisit, who also resigned to take responsibility for the party’s poor performance in the 2019 general election.
