Democrats defer electing new party leaderDemocrat Party key members attend a meeting to map out the party’s communication strategy at the party’s headquarters on March 27. At Wednesday's meeting of the party's caretaker board, the board was notified of Mr Jurin's resignation as party leader. In the new party leader election, the party has resolved to skip the standard process of sounding out the popularity of each nominated candidate before voting to select the winner, to avoid creating conflicts inside the party, said Mr Ramet. The rest of the party's board will include former party leaders and cabinet ministers, he said. It was also reported at Wednesday's meeting that over 89,000 Thais have applied for party membership.
