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 as soon as its coverage statement was made public before congress next month.

The Pheu Thai Party is doing everything in its power to have a new case line-up ready by the end of the week, according to Mr. Phumtham, who was appointed acting prime minister after Srettha Thavisin was removed by the Constitutional Court.

When the line-up is finalised, it will be submitted to His Majesty the King for imperial 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 partnership, according to Mr. Phumtham, a vital figure within the ruling party, exceeds the number of content available in the government, which is limited to 35 by the law.

Each party is getting ready to have one or more of their candidates declared ineligible to hold a government 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 end of the week, he refrained from commenting on information that the Democrat Party, Pheu Thai’s long-standing adversary, may be invited to join the fresh partnership state. ” 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 according to sources believes 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 former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra stated at the Vision for Thailand conference last Thursday that the new government led by his child may include Democrat people, rumors about the Democrat Party, which will be led by Mr. Chalermchai, emerged that the opposition would revert to the new coalition government.

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

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