The Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ) has written to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra asking her to send her list of appointments to Pol Gen Phatcharavat Wongsuwan, who will be the next minister of natural resources and environment.

The partnership partner stated in the letter that the group has supported Ms. Paetongpat’s election as prime minister and that it has nominated the identical four Srettha government MPs to keep those positions in the new government.

The four positions are held by Pol Gen Phatcharavat as the secretary of natural resources and the environment, Capt. Thamanat Prompow as the minister of agriculture and partnerships, Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn as the minister of agriculture and cooperatives, and Santi Promphat as the minister of public health.

The group’s governmental prospect list has been submitted to Dr Prommin Lertsuridej, the PM’s secretary-general, by PPRP head Gen Prawit Wongsuwon. The PPRP innovator does find a replacement in the event that any of the four are determined to be disqualified by the ruling party.

The PPRP claimed that Pol Gen Phatcharavat has yet to get the files in question, citing press reviews that the secretary has issued candidates with forms to fill out for background checks.

The group has requested that the prime minister train the cabinet secretary to send the documents to Pol Gen Patcharavat so that he can load them out and send them back in order to prevent background checks from taking place.

Democrat deals denied

According to rumors, Capt Thamanat, the PPRP secretary-general, was in discussions with a significant member of the opposition’s Democratic Party about a potential deal that might give both parties some government seats. He next week denied to Pheu Thai that he had ever submitted a separate record of chosen PPRP MPs.

Dr. Prommin stated on Monday that some political parties have not yet sent their governmental individuals, and that background checks are being carried out on those whose names were submitted.

Phumtham Wechayachai, the new cabinet’s caregiver deputy prime minister, predicted the formation of the new case by the end of the month so that the government could make its policy statement public by September 15 in writing to parliament.

In case Capt Thamanat is determined inadequate, Narumon Pinyosinwat, the president of the under-respected Kla Dharma Party and a former senior PPRP member, may be appointed agriculture and cooperatives secretary.
