First new political party registered after ban lifted
Chat Pattana Party on Tuesday became the first new political party to register with the Election Commission after a ban was lifted last week.
The party leader Piyawat Limpabhandhu is a son of Prapas Limpabhandhu, a former Chat Pattana Party deputy leader and former deputy foreign minister. There were 21 co-founders of the party.
Piyawat said he had planned for the registration for a long time as he had felt a lot attachment to it before it was merged into the Thai Rak Thai Party.
The party's secretary-general is Sirirat Temboonsaran.
The ban on registering new political parties was imposed by the coup makers last September.
