The Democratic Party asked Chonburi-area residents for suggestions
on how to “design and assemble Thailand” in a forum aimed at helping the
minority party win again at the polls.
Central region party boss Alongkorn Pholbut hosted the April 26 meeting
with local officials, business leaders and businesspeople at the Cape
Dara Hotel.
Alongkorn said the Democrats have opened three offices in the eastern
region and want to hear what citizens want from their government, what
kind of administrative system they prefer and what the roles of public
representatives should be.
The information collected will be used to create a political master plan
for the Democrats, who were soundly defeated in the most recent national
elections.
The party plans to announce its new platform at a
rally on May 4 in Ayutthaya, a city no Democratic MP has been elected in
67 years.
On April 26, local party officials also planned to host a “blue sky
night” at the Thai Oil Health Field in Chonburi when party leader and
former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and other MPs were scheduled to
speak on party plans.
