blue blood crisis Democrat Party and “Abhisit Vejjajiva” who used to be a child helping to distribute campaign leaflets for the rising star on the day he resigned from party membership.

Birth, existence, and extinction are considered the truth in Buddhism.

The meaning of this truth is that what “happens” in this world will “settle” for a certain period of time. It depends on things that happen and “die out” with time and the “lifespan” of those things. And at this time “political fans” are “watching” Thailand’s oldest party in the name of the “Democrat Party”.

December 9, 2023 There has been a change in the Democrat Party, namely the addition of a new party leader, Mr. Chalermchai Sri-on.

But the acquisition of Mr. Chalermchai means the loss of an important Democrat Party “general”, Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, former prime minister. and the leader of the Democrat Party

What many people saw that day were facial expressions and eyes that were like “different people” that we used to see regularly, “facial expressions” that were hidden with emotions, “eyes” that conveyed many “hints” of words before uttering them. Came out that he would like to talk with Mr. Chalermchai

Then when “Close the room” and “Open your mind” After clearing things up, Mr. Abhisit shouted in the middle of the meeting that Request to resign from party membership

“I don’t have another party. Don’t go to another party. When you cut the blood out, it will be blue until the day you die…”

From book information “Mark, his name is…Abhisit Vejjajiva.” stated that during the childhood of Mark I have a dream that I want to be a politician. Because of listening to Mr. Chuan Leekpai debate in parliament since he was 11 years old or in the year 1975

Political curiosity It started with the events of 14 October. What were they demanding at that time? Why did he dare to do that? What was he fighting for? What is democracy?

Dr. Charoen Kanthawong, one of the senior members of the Democrat Party, once said that he did not know Mr. Abhisit, only that he was his father. (Dr. Atthasit Vejjajiva) is a friend of the same age. During the election with Col. Thanat Khoman as the party leader. He came to entrust his son, namely Mr. Mark, to help with the campaign. Handing out campaign flyers to the Democrat Party

“I asked him how old he was..”

“Just 15 years, the weather is hot too…”

“Let’s give it away…he likes his stuff.”

The event at that time was during a semester break from studying in England. When finishing primary school He entered high school at Eton College.

Of course, his studies in England shaped young Mark into becoming former Prime Minister Abhisit today and until today. He naturally had a starting point in politics: the 1992 elections.

Even though Mark’s political path I will start working since I was a child. But what made Thai people know him was the election in 1992.

After the R.S.C. seized power and the appointment of the Prime Minister, Mr. Anand Panyarachun, and later it was announced that there would be a general election on March 22, 1992.

Mr. Abhisit is very interested in running in this election. I consulted with the family. Everyone supports Because I know in my heart that He has wanted to work in politics for a long time. He told his father The person who is the father contacted Mr. Chuan Leekpai because Dr. Atthasit Mark’s father Used to take care of Mr. Chuan’s father The time I came to vote at Prachuap Khiri Khan Province in 1975, where it is expected that Mr. Chuan may have met Mr. Abhisit for the first time…

From the coordination of Father to Mr. Chuan Leekpai and Mr. Chuan continued to coordinate. Dr. Charoen Khanthawong Former Member of Parliament who owns the area Then there was coordination. Party branch in District 6, Yannawa. Finally, Mr. Mark got the opportunity to run for MP as one of three candidates in that district… because of a message from Mr. Hua Chuan who said, “He is a talented person. There is a future person.”

The party branch meeting at that time initially asked another former MP to apply. But with health problems Coincidentally received support from Dr. Charoen explaining his knowledge. Mr. Abhisit’s abilities Who has knowledge in economics, holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree from England.

“He has a personality similar to John F. Kennedy. In English it’s called Charisma. When you see it, you’re attracted to him. When you see it, you like it, you love it. Mr. Abhisit has this.” Dr. Charoen mentioned Mark at that time.

That election end with flow “Simulating Fever” (Major General Chamlong Srimuang) while the Democrat Party has Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva as one. Who won the election in Bangkok

One reason that was being analyzed at that time was the television broadcast “Debate” during the last 5 days before the election, where he had one “follower” of the party leader join in the debate, and one of them was Mr. Mark Abhisit is this person and with Mr. Abhisit’s speaking style. that doesn’t attack anyone thus becoming one voice of MPs in history In that election too… That is the first step into the full political arena.

After winning the first election and being the youngest MP (at that time) at the age of 27, Mark continued to win elections. There are opportunities to work in the government, including many party positions.

Mr. Abhisit previously held the position of “Commander” controlling the reins of the Democrat Party. Fought the election in 2007 and won 164 MP seats, but lost to “People Power” received 233 MPs.

Until Mr. Samak Sundaravej will be removed from the position of Prime Minister. From the judgment of the Constitutional Court, Mr. Somchai Wongsawat became Prime Minister and later on 2 December 2008, the Constitutional Court ruled to dissolve 3 political parties, one of which was also the People’s Party. As a result, Mr. Somchai had to leave the position of Prime Minister and The council must make a new choice.

From that event, Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban, secretary-general of the Democrat Party at that time, made a deal with a group of friends, “Newin Chidchob” and voted for Mr. Abhisit to become the 27th Prime Minister.

Mr. Abhisit’s tenure as Prime Minister must face the red shirt storm. violent clash between the protesters and officials using special laws

Once, Mr. Abhisit said that on the night of April 10th, there were people who died. It was the most miserable night. Since becoming Prime Minister And it was the day that I cried for the longest time in my political life. and never want to see the loss of Thai people…

Mr. Abhisit has been the leader of the Democrat Party for more than 14 years. He was a general who fought in several elections. The first time in 2007 he won 164 MP seats. The second time in 2011 he got 159 seats. In the third election in 2014, the party resolved not to Sending candidates to run for election in 2019 was the biggest change. The Democrat Party became a “low-hundred” party, meaning it won only 53 MP seats.

Before the election, Mr. Abhisit announced that Will never work with “Uncle Tu” Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha.

From the results of this election, Mr. Abhisit announced “resign” From the position of leader of the Democrat Party, and later the Democrat Party decided to join the government with Palang Pracharath, Mr. Abhisit resigned from the position of MP who had been elected for 27 years.

This year, the election results showed that the Democrats under the general named “Jurin Laksanawisit“There are only 25 MPs left and they are extinct in the Bangkok area.

Due to the worst crisis in many years, Mr. Jurin decided to resign. Opening the way for choosing a new party leader And finally, as we all know in the news, Mr. Chuan nominated Mr. Abhisit to come back as leader again, competing with Mr. Chalermchai. But before choosing, Mr. Abhisit asked to clear his mind and closed the chat room in 10 minutes before coming out to announce his resignation. Leave party membership Withdraw from the contest to select the party leader.

Later, members of the “Abhisit” line gradually resigned as a result, causing the “blue blood” of the Democrat Party to flow out and not knowing where it would end up.

Elders of the party at this time likeMr. Chuan Leekpai I admit that “sorry” People like Mr. Abhisit and other party members who resigned

“Many people lined up and said I will resign from being a member of the party. I understand people who still love the party….what I’m worried about. It is the party’s ideology that has been in operation for 78 years. Politics must be made pure and honest. being a political party It’s not always because you stay for a long time. If you stay here for a long time and cheat, cheat a lot, the boss will go to jail. No one accepts it as a political institution. But all the previous generations and party leaders have served with honesty. Thus making the party accepted by the people. So this must be preserved. The new party leader confirmed at the meeting that he would be honest. I leave it to the new executive committee to help take care of it. Because in the past there were quite a few rumors that the party wanted to join the government,” Mr. Chuan said.

While Mr. Chalermchai said at one point After being chosen as party leader, I am Abhisit. There was no problem of conflict. Still looking into each other’s eyes and knowing each other’s feelings Have worked together for a long time But opening up to each other today It is a matter of what I have experienced and what Mr. Abhisit thinks. There has been discussion and exchange. I believe that Mr. Abhisit’s decision had been made before, but today we had the opportunity to talk. Everyone understands each other. Each person cut out blood and it came out blue, believing that everyone loved the party.

After this, you’ll have to wait and see. Democrat Party Under the reins of the man named “Chalermchai”, what will happen next? And what will the future of Mr. Abhisit have in terms of political path…
