Former PM Abhisit explains why he doesn’t want to contest the election

Former PM Abhisit Vejjajiva rejected the Democrat Party's offer to run as a party-list candidate in the upcoming election.
He stated his decision aims to prevent public confusion about the party's political stance, citing his past opposition to the party joining PM Prayut's coalition government.
Abhisit, who previously resigned as party leader and an MP over the coalition issue, will instead assist in campaigning for the party alongside other former leaders.
He believes his participation as a candidate would not benefit the party and could foster disunity.
