The newly established Sang Anakhot Thai (Building Thailand's Future) Party is standing firm that it will not join any government led by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, according to deputy party leader Suranand Vejjajiva.
Mr Suranand, a former secetary-general to the prime minister during the Yingluck Shinawatra government, on Facebook said he almost decided to quit the party after a meeting was held to discuss its stance regarding Gen Prayut's premiership.
