The opposition leader Abhisit was elected Tuesday, December 16 by the parliament the Prime Minister of Thailand. The takeover ends 10 months of political crisis and events.
Aged 44, this leader of the Democratic Party had the support of 235 MPs at 438. He succeeds Somchai Wongsawat, who had been forced to resign after the Constitutional Court have condemned his party the PPP (People's Power Party) electoral fraud. Without genuine popular legitimacy Abhisit will have to restore confidence in a country deeply divided between the rural north who are hostile and the capital Bangkok and the southern regions are favorable.
Abhisit was born in Newcastle in Britain, he graduated from Oxford and has entered Parliament at age 27. He was the youngest member ever elected. This is a man from
high society is perfectly English.
