Prayut said yesterday that only a handful of politicians had rejected the draft, while eligible voters number several million. Democrat deputy leader Nipit Intarasombat said voters would very likely vote in line with their favourite politicians' stance. "If voters let [politicians] influence them, then it's up to them. "I will vote for the draft constitution, though my decision may go against that of many politicians. Prayut 's reaction came after Democrat Party leader and ex-premier Abhisit Vejjajiva publicly announced on Wednesday that he would not accept the draft charter.
