Puea Thai Party vows to bring "Thaksin" back home

BANGKOK, April 18 (TNA) - The Puea Thai Party, aligned with exiled ex-Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his red-shirt supporters, vowed Monday to bring Thaksin home to re-start his work for the nation.

Somchai Wongsawadi, a Puea Thai member who is also Thaksin's brother-in-law and a former Thai premier, publicly made the announcement in Thailand's northern resort Chiang Mai Province, Thaksin's hometown, insisting that he and other Puea Thai members, along with other supporters and people concerned, will maintain a firm stance on trying to bring Thaksin home to resolve national problems by any means necessary.

Somchai said that the Puea Thai Party will announce its policy on electoral campaigns closer to the country's new general election in mid 2011 by April 23, acknowledging that the policy will be people-oriented in practice and mainly planned by Thaksin.

Somchai called on the Thai electorate to turn out to cast their ballots and to elect Puea Thai candidates so that his party could form a new government if more than 50 per cent of its candidates were elected nationwide. (TNA)
