Key Democrat figures on Friday rejected media reports that the party was seeking to join the coalition led by the Move Forward Party (MFP).
According to the reports circulating on Thursday night following the formation of the ten-party alliance, a group of winning Democrat candidates close to acting party secretary-general Chalermchai Sri-on said Mr Chalermchai tried to approach the MFP and Pheu Thai to be part of the coalition.
Two figures -- Det-it Khaothong and Chaichana Dejdecho, who won House seats in Songkhla and Nakhon Si Thammarat, respectively -- were said to be spearheading the move. The group was said to have 16 out of 25 seats the party captured in Sunday's polls.
