A Democrat questions PM for choosing to visit Buri Ram, threatening to quit

Democrat MP Suthas Ngernmuen on Friday called for Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to review his decision to visit Buri Ram, seen as the stronghold of the Bhum Jai Thai Party.

"The prime minister can travel to every province in the Northeast without having to rely on anyone's charisma because I think he is well loved by most of Isaan constituents," Suthas said.

Suthas lamented that Abhisit chose Buri Ram without consulting him or other Democrats from the Northeast.

He said he disagreed if his main coalition party would designate its junior coalition partner to spearhead the election campaign in the Northeast.
