Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban on Tuesday dismissed speculation about forming a back-up party in the face of the Democrat Party dissolution case.
Suthep also confirmed there is no plan to dissolve the House even if his main coalition party is penalised by disbandment.
"I don't know those responsible for registering a new party but Democrat Party leader, party secretary general and all of the party executives have no involvement in the matter," he said in reference to the registration of the Thai Khemkhaeng Party.
He conceded he and every Democrat were concerned about the litigation which could result in the party disbandment.
"Of course, I am worrying because I have no way of knowing how the verdict will turn out," he said, though voicing optimism that there is no factual evidence linking his party to the alleged violations related to the party finances.
