The newly-established Sarng Anacot Thai Party (building Thailand's future) announced on Wednesday at its general meeting to select a party leader and executive members that it would invite former deputy prime minister Somkid Jatusripitak to be the party's prime ministerial candidate.
Uttama Savanayana was named party leader while Sontirat Sontijirawong will be the party's secretary-general. The former leader and secretary-general of the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), respectively, resigned from the ruling party and their cabinet posts in 2020 due to internal conflict.
