Bangkok: Abhisit Vejjajiva has announced a comprehensive 90-day roadmap aimed at reviving Thailand's economy by focusing on "new economic engines." This initiative encourages Thai citizens to participate in a fundraising effort using "white money" to promote transparent and honest politics.
According to Thai News Agency, Abhisit Vejjajiva, leader of the Democrat Party, outlined the party's strategic plans leading up to the upcoming election. The plans include presenting an economic vision and organizing a significant fundraising event that emphasizes public involvement and transparent political practices. On Friday, January 16, 2026, the party intends to unveil the "90-Day Action Plan," which serves as an urgent roadmap for economic revitalization. The plan aims to create new economic drivers that are in line with global trends and address the need to sustainably enhance the income of Thai citizens.
The fundraising event, scheduled for January 17 at the KBank Siam Pighanesh Theatre in Siam Square, marks a shift from traditional fundraising banquets to a more interactive meeting and discussion format. This event will involve party members, the three prime ministerial candidates, and supporters, focusing on raising "clean funds" or "white funds." The public is invited to contribute through ticket purchases and legal donations, further bolstered by the opportunity to donate a portion of their income tax to political parties under code 001, demonstrating support for parties committed to ethical standards.
The Democrat Party's approach highlights the importance of transparent politics, advocating for political parties to grow through public trust and donations, thereby maintaining their independence in working towards the common good. When questioned about the party's major vision presentation as the election campaign nears its final stages, Abhisit responded that with about 20 days remaining, the party intends to maintain continuous communication with the public. He intriguingly remarked, "This is not the final minute," urging the public to anticipate the party's trump card that will be revealed before the election.
