Abhisit Denies ‘Uncle’ Nickname Amidst Lawsuit Discussion

Bangkok:Abhisit Vejjajiva, leader of the Democrat Party, addressed the media following a press conference at Parliament, where he clarified his involvement in a conversation between Rakchanok Srinok and Suchada Sangtansap concerning a lawsuit.

According to Thai News Agency, Abhisit insisted that he merely walked past the two MPs during their discussion and refuted the notion of being a "neighboring uncle." He explained that Rakchanok calls him "brother," while Suchada refers to him as "sir" or "chief."

Abhisit emphasized that he was not involved in the conversation about the potential lawsuit and joked about the situation by noting that he had brought the "real uncle," referring to Mr. Chuan Leekpai, a list MP from the Democrat Party. He also playfully warned reporters to be cautious with their words as they tried to draw him into the situation.
