He said that some people may have believed in certain approaches in the past but if they see the People’s Party as a better way forward, the party is ready to work with them. “During those interviews, I recall that I never said anything in support of the military coup,” he said. Mr Pisan was unveiled as the second member of the party’s “people’s government” management team this week as a foreign affairs minister candidate. Kalyapat Rachitroj, a former People’s Party list MP, recently resigned from the party, saying she had lost faith as the party drifts from its original identity and progressive ideals. She also criticised the leadership for pursuing “illusory power” and sidelining longtime members in favour of outsiders and technocrats such as Mr Pisan.
