Thaksin and Northeastern MPs to meet in Philippines

Paijit said he was uncertain if Thaksin would fly in to meet the MPs although the former prime minister had reportedly made telephone calls for the meeting arrangement.

The meeting, if held, would aim at mapping out future contingency plans in case of the disbandment of the People Power Party. The discussion will also explore potential candidates to replace Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat.

Should the PPP be penalised by dissolution, Somchai will likely face a five-year ban from the electoral process.
