PNet will deliver invitations by hand to People Power Party leader Samak and Democrat leader Abhisit, secretarygeneral Somchai Srisutthiyakorn said on Wednesday.

Democrat spokesman Ongart Klampaiboon said if Abhisit has no important or urgent schedule he would join the debate, as the party was ready to discuss its policies anytime. However Ongart said he had to see the conditions of the event first.

"We have no fear of the debate. It's a normal matter," he said.

PPP secretarygeneral Surapong Suebwonglee said it was up to Samak to decide whether to participate or not.

"If Samak knows the details and format of the debate and thinks he can join he will accept the invitation. Our party is fully prepared [to argue] about policies," he said.

Since the election campaign kicked off last month, Samak has refused to share the stage with any rival, saying he did not want to fight with other candidates and was not good at speaking with time limited.
