The group was formed on 29 November 2013 by [[Suthep Thaugsuban]], who resigned from his post as Democrat Party secretary-general and MP, and appointed himself as PDRC secretary-general. Although much of the movement's message revolved around the evils of politicians, the PDRC was mostly made up of members of the Democrat Party, the People's Alliance for Democracy (a coalition of opposition to Thaksin), student activist groups, state worker's unions and pro-military groups. The PDRC's support stemmed mostly from affluent Bangkokians and Southerners. Whistle-blowing was a central symbol of the protests.
