Mongkolkit has rejoined the Democrat Party, praising Abhisit as suitable to be prime minister in 2026, and prayed to the Earth Goddess to help him return to parliament as an MP once again.
At 13:30 on 30 Nov 2025 GMT+7, at the Democrat Party office, Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, former party-list MP, former leader of the Thai Sriwilai Party, and former advisor to Democrat Party leader Dr. Chalermchai Sri-on, came to register as a member of the Democrat Party. He expressed his intention to run for MP in Bangkok constituencies, as a party-list MP, or as a campaign assistant under the Democrat Party banner.
Mongkolkit said he came today to register as a member under the policy 'Anyone can be a good MP.' He was an MP four years ago and believes the Democrat Party is the solution for Thailand. He thinks no one is more suitable to be prime minister in 2026 than Abhisit Vejjajiva, who has experience and has served as prime minister before.
When asked about the flooding in Hat Yai and whether he had helped, Mongkolkit said the southern floods affected 10 provinces, with Hat Yai, Songkhla, being the worst hit. Although warnings had been issued, they were dismissed as fake news. The Meteorological Department under the Ministry of Digital Economy likely had issues, and under the Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul's supervision, if evacuation orders had been issued two days earlier, fewer lives would have been lost. Currently, government agencies appear to be concealing death toll figures to avoid criticism of Anutin and prevent people from calling for the PM's resignation. However, the PM is already criticized nationwide, so it's better to disclose the truth and fully compensate affected citizens for deaths, property, and economic losses.
Mongkolkit added that after Anutin helps the people, he should resign as prime minister and leave politics. Since his oath-taking day, the government has collapsed, and within less than two months, many people have died. This shows what he means for Thailand. He urged Anutin to reflect and take responsibility, as government negligence caused deaths. Anutin has admitted fault, and it is up to his conscience to assess his culpability. The damage is extensive, and if warnings and evacuations had been timely, the losses would have been far less.
Later at 14:20, after completing his Democrat Party membership registration, Mongkolkit presented a garland and paid respects to the Earth Goddess at the party entrance. Having previously been with the Democrat Party for about one year and five months before leaving, he has now returned as a member. He prayed for the Earth Goddess's blessing to become an MP for Bangkok, either in a constituency or party-list seat, and intends to use the Democrat Party as his base to serve and improve the lives of the people, advancing Thailand's progress. He hopes the Earth Goddess will be reassured and support him in his future work.
