Caretaker Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai stated that the new cabinet’s lineup is expected to be finalized by the end of the week, stating that the government would begin working right away once its policy statement was made public before congress next month.

Following Srettha Thavisin’s departure by the Constitutional Court, Mr. Phumtham, who took over as acting prime minister, claimed the Pheu Thai Party is doing everything possible to have a new case line-up ready by the end of the week ready to work on the issues affecting the nation.

When the line-up is finalised, it will be submitted to His Majesty the King for aristocratic support. Before they can join to explore and declare the plan speech, which will likely be released in the second week of September, the new ministers will be required to take an oath of workplace before His Majesty the King, according to Mr. Phumtham.

The number of individuals submitted by its supporters in the alliance, which is limited to 35 articles in the cupboard, was stated by Mr. Phumtham, a vital figure within the ruling party.

Each party is getting ready to have one or more of their prospects declared ineligible for a case position, he said.

Following the departure of ex-PM Srettha for appointing past prisoner Pichit Chuenban as a PM’s Office minister, he claimed the Constitutional Court has set a high table in terms of social norms for those who want to get government officials.

While Mr. Phumtham was positive that the lineup may be finalized by the week’s end, he refrained from commentating on reports that the Democratic Party, Pheu Thai’s long-standing adversary, may get invited to join the new coalition government. ” I cannot comment on the matter. It will become apparent once the new ministers are spectacularly endorsed”, he said.

According to some reports, the Democrat Party will have two governmental posts, with Det-it Khaothong serving as deputy secretary and group leader Chalermchai Sri-on slated to take over as minister of natural resources and environment, assuming the party succeeds.

Under the leadership of Gen. Prawit Wongsuwon, who sources claim is likely to be exempt from the new Pheu Thai-led administration, these posts were supposed to go to the deeply polarized Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ).

After past Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra stated at the Vision for Thailand community next Thursday that his daughter’s new coalition government would include Democrat members, rumors about the Democrat Party, which Mr. Chalermchai is leading, started to spread.

Democrat assistant secretary-general Chaichana Detdecho was current at the conference, which marked Thaksin’s initial public speaking engagement in Thailand in 17 years.

Narapat Kaewthong, the party’s deputy president, said on Sunday that the Pheu Thai-led state has not yet been invited to join the party. However, he said, party managers and MPs may meet if an invitation is made to join. When asked about the political conflict between the Democrats and Pheu Thai, Mr. Narapat said that officials should prioritize the public attention over anything else.
