The Democrat Party will meet on Wednesday and issue guidelines for electing a new leader, who is speculated to be either its former leader, Abhisit Vejjajiva, or Watanya Bunnag, chief of the party's working group on political innovations.
Party spokesman Ramet Rattanachaweng, on Monday said its caretaker executive panel would meet on Wednesday to lay out the guidelines to be followed in seeking a new leader and naming a new board after Jurin Laksanawisit quit as leader in the wake of the party's crushing election defeat. A leader's resignation automatically scraps the board.
