Chart Thai Party-list candidate Auychai Watha has resigned from the party in protest at its decision to join the People Power-led coalition.

"The decision by leader Banharn Silapa-archa is not meant for the country but a ready formula to team up with the coalition government," he said.

Auychai said civic groups from the Northeast associated with him would sever ties with Chart Thai too.

He is disappointed with Banharn's old-style politicking and predicted a government under Samak Sundaravej would collapse in less than a year.
