Paiboon, also a former senator, said the party would be called “Prachachon Patiroop,” or People’s Reform.

His party will emphasise on the reform of political parties and politicians for the benefits of the country.

People would be more empowered and people’s assembly would be formed.

He was also asked about his connection with now-defunct People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) that led rally against then Yingluck administration.

Paiboon said that the PDRC members are people who could join the party if they wanted.

Asked whether the party would be open for retired military officers, including junta members, Paiboon said those retired officers are considered normal people who could join the party. However he said he did not think the junta members may not join his party.
