Klatham Party chief Narumon Pinyosinwat insisted her group is not a surrogate for any significant group after lengthy welcoming two original members of the Pheu Thai Party to its collapse.
The debate arose after its main assistant, Capt Thamanat Prompow, arranged the latest move by the group’s director Gp Capt Anudit Nakornthap and Bangkok MP Karun Hosakul with Pheu Thai heavy and former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Mr Narumon addressed the debate, saying on Saturday the discourse with Mr Thaksin was only a kindness.
” ]Gp Capt Anudit and Mr Karun ] decided to work with Klatham due to a similar vision we both have to serve the public”, said Ms Narumon.
The post came as studies emerged that Klatham is seeking to pull more than 30 MPs from several different functions to meet it.
Capt Thamanat said Klatham is preparing presentations to be made in coming months regarding fresh eyes which will join the party line-up.
Capt Thamanat also denied says it was becoming a “whirlpool of energy” with its efforts to swallow in Members from a number of parties and denied claims that corruption has been the main technique used in luring them to fault.
He also denied claims by by ex-Future Forward Party MP Pannika Wanich that Klatham is trying to boost the number of MPs under its wing to improve its bargaining location when negotiating for big government portfolio like the inside ministership.
People’s Party leader Natthapong Ruangpanyawut recently demanded Klatham reveal the list of MPs who have agreed to defect from other parties to join it, but Ms Narumon said that the party was respecting the wishes of those joining, not playing political games.
Meanwhile, Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, of the Thai Sang Thai Party, said there was no conflict between her, Gp Capt Anudit and Mr Karun over their departures. All three were Pheu Thai members before Khunying Sudarat founded a party of her own.
Khunying Sudarat added that no such” cobras”, or defectors, have been reported from her party just yet. ” I congratulated them for finding parties that suit their political vision, as the party needed to move on with a newer generation of politicians”, she said.
