".....Mr Samak denied reports that a branch of the PPP had been renamed Puea Thai, but admitted his party had internal issues he would have to handle. However, PPP spokesman Kuthep Saikrachang admitted the branch, in Phichit province, had replaced its PPP sign with a Puea Thai party sign.

He said the process to disband the PPP and its coalition partners _ the Chart Thai and Matchimathipataya parties _ was ongoing and the introduction of the Puea Thai party reflected attempts by PPP MPs to find a way out in advance. No one in the party expected the PPP to survive, he said.

''Disband the party if you want to. We will move to another party. Supplying the new party has begun,'' said the PPP spokesman. He said Puea Thai should attract former Thai Rak Thai members who had moved to other parties after the dissolution of their old party.

Many former Thai Rak Thai members realised their departure to other parties had only brought about political problems and that many people still support Mr Thaksin's policies, he said. He added that the new party would promote popular policies."
