flag Thailand’s Democrat Party reinstates Abhisit Vejjajiva as leader with 96% support ahead of upcoming elections.

flag Thailand’s Democrat Party has reinstated former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva as its leader in a vote with 96% support, marking a comeback for the 61-year-old former premier who led the country from 2008 to 2011. flag His return comes amid internal party divisions and declining support, as the nation faces a minority government and plans for new elections within four months. flag Abhisit, a dual Thai-British citizen educated at Oxford, remains controversial due to his role in the 2010 military crackdown on Red Shirt protesters, which caused over 90 deaths. flag Despite criticism over his perceived detachment and avoidance of mandatory military service, his reinstatement signals a strategic effort to revitalize the historically influential party ahead of upcoming elections.
