It was lower than the previous referendum in 2007 which was 57 per cent, party secretary general Phumtham Wechayachai said. He said the party would continue to fight for democracy but refused to say whether they would run in an election under the draft they opposed or not. In their press conference at party headquarters, they said voter turnout this time was low or around 50 per cent.
