Unlike some other newcomers, the Action Coalition for Thailand (ACT), will not elect its leader and other party executives at its maiden meeting. That will be done in next three months, when the party has at least 500 members as required by law, according to Anek Laothamatas, a founder of the party. He said some 250 party members would get together at Rangsit University this Sunday for the first meeting. Suthep will be just an ordinary party member, with no executive position in the party and no political positions in the future, according to Anek. Anek said that he would not accept the party leader’s position unless he was elected by a general party meeting.
