On 3 June 2018, the Action Coalition for Thailand Party held its first meeting and outlined its platform and its determination to reform the country.[10] The party's rhetoric is similar to that of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), the main pressure group of the 2013–2014 Thai political crisis.[11] Former PDRC leader Suthep Thaugsuban is ACT's most prominent member, serving as chairman of the campaign committee.[12] Also among the founding members were former Governor of the Bank of Thailand Chatumongol Sonakul, political scientist Anek Laothamatas, and retired police general Vasit Dejkunjorn.
