All 143 members of parliament from the court-dissolved Move Forward Party ( MFP ) joined their new political home on Friday, with the main opposition’s Facebook page renamed to the People’s Party.
Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, the newly appointed group head, arrived at Thai Summit Tower , on New Phetchaburi Road in Bangkok alongside other Members and users from the dismantled group. Eventually, a formal announcement will be made about the new group and its leaders.
The people, who have the upper hand in governing the nation, are the party’s most sacred and persistent establishment, according to a post on Facebook with the name and new brand.  ,
The people will hold a party to make sure the people have access to Thailand’s highest energy, according to the statement.  ,
On Thursday evening, past key people and Members of Move Forward selected Mr Natthapong, a record MP and former assistant secretary-general, as the new president.
The 37-year-old Chulalongkorn University student is a senior executive at Absolute Management Solutions Co., a company of sky services. Before the Constitutional Court’s dissolution in 2020, he allegedly resigned from his position with the Future Forward Party on suspicion of breaking election law when he made political party gifts in 2019.
Mr. Natthaphong expressed his confidence on Friday, claiming that the meeting of all Members at the new office strengthened his resolve to carry out the Move Forward initiative’s goals. Additional information may be shared at an established hit event, he added.
The Move Forward Party’s Instagram page changed its name and branding to ‘ Women’s Party’ on Friday.
Before, Move Forward deputy president Sirikanya Tansakun, who , is not among the 11 banned group directors, was tipped to guide the Women’s Party.
The 43-year-old scholar said that while some modifications might occur, the group’s core philosophy will remain unchanged.
Because it proposed amending Part 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the lese-majeste law, on Wednesday, the nine-judge section of the Constitutional Court found Move Forward innocent of putting the constitutional monarchy at risk and protecting national protection. As a result, the judge banned its 11 professionals for 10 years.
Before the contract prosecutor announced its decision, Jirat Thongsuwan, a Move Forward MP for Chachoengsao, claimed that an associate to a government minister offered him 20 million to 30 million baht to change factors.
Eventually, cabinet officials later denied having any knowledge of such efforts.
