- Bangkok - The party presidential election of January 2009 has turned out to be one of the blandest ever in the recent history of eThailand, as only three parties saw races, each uncontested with a single candidate.
With the long-dominant Brazilian power bloc gone from the picture, the enthusiastic Defenestration cruised to victory in TNT without any rival but received only 10 votes from the 67-member party. Upon winning, he said he would "start to work things over on Tuesday".
In Pattana Unity Party (PUP), formerly Thailand Reform Party (TRP), incumbent leader Ealb gained 21 votes, about one-third of this second largest political party of eThailand. He only ran in the election out of concern that a sneaky figure may attempt to quietly nominate himself as the only candidate and usurp the party president post and take over the party's bid for congress and presidency.
In fact, that scenario happened at the seven-member Thailand Defense Party (TDP) as unknown Camy took over the party from former president Korbin King with only one vote, probably from herself.
"It wasn't my party to begin with. I didn't see the value in running for PP (and spending 2 gold) since I have no intention of running for president," said King who did not seem to be bothered that the party is now under the control of a citizen who does not even have a profile picture.
The Thai Gazette has attempted to contact Camy but so far has not received a response.

What happened at TDP seems interesting.
Help our elections? I am confused by that statement.
Ditto that Guy. Why is it every time I see Rody I know better than to read their comments but I still do anyhow and walk away dumber for it.
No Silly, not the elections, I mean take over, their economy is much stronger so is their politics, maybe they could take over than give it back, work something out, because clearly what you guys are doing now is not working
Why don't you come and live here and join in? It is sooo easy to cast stones from afar. We are having the same issues that every smaller nation is having.
Guy, I would go there and help, but I am not welcome, I know I can be childish at times, but I have matured a lot here in eBrasil, right now I am party president, so when I decide that my time in Brazil is over, I will go back to eTHai and work with you guys, I promise, no more bickering
