Chuan says Democrats need a resolution to join Pheu Thai coalition

Former Democrat party leader Chuan Leekpai insists the party must pass a formal resolution to join the Pheu Thai-led coalition, adhering to party regulations.
Another former leader, Banyat Bantadtan, advises focusing on rebuilding the party's image and popularity instead of joining the coalition, citing historical opposition to the Thaksin regime.
The Democrat party is currently divided, with a north-eastern faction favoring joining the coalition, even sending a member to meet Thaksin Shinawatra, while the party itself denies involvement in the meeting.
The party is struggling to elect a new leader and executive committee, as a recent general meeting lacked the necessary quorum, further delaying crucial decisions regarding its political future.
