Akanat is supported by UTN for supervisory positions.
If Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, survives a legitimate action pending a constitutional court ruling the following year, he will be prepared to take a cabinet reshuffle.
He made the remark after Pirapan Salirathavibhaga, the leader of the coalition United Thai Nation ( UTN) Party, proposed the shake-up to allow its secretary-general Akanat Promphan to fill a ministerial post which remains vacant under the party’s quota.
This month, there are a number of issues with the justice program… If a coalition party proposes]a cabinet reshuffle], I am ready to consider it, but I wo n’t do it any time soon because there is a case pending a Constitutional Court ruling. We have to honor the jury earliest”, Mr Srettha said.
In the most recent cabinet reshuffle, the Constitutional Court will decide whether Mr. Srettha will continue as prime minister in spite of his determination to assign ex-convict Pichit Chuenban as the PM’s Office Minister.
40 past senators, who had been found guilty of contempt of court for attempting to reward Supreme Court officers in 2008 while representing former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in a contentious area case, filed a complaint in May to ignore the prime minister.
According to a resource in the state, Mr. Pirapan, who likewise serves as the Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister, wrote to Mr. Srettha on Saturday to request that he think about reshuffling the case.
A government post under the group’s allotment remains vacant after Krisada Chinavicharana, a previous UTN part, resigned as deputy finance minister in May.
According to the cause, Mr. Pirapan stated in the letter that the group would select Mr. Akanat for any case position created as a result of the changes.
Mr. Pirapan claimed that because the location is still open and Mr. Akanat was well qualified to take over the position, Mr. Akanat, a UTN list MP, appeared to be extremely likely to be the party choice for it.
According to Mr. Pirapan, Mr. Akanat, a UTN record MP, performed well in the past election and has also fulfilled his role as an MP in parliament effectively.
A spokeswoman for UTN’s Ratchaburi, Akkaradet Wongpitakroj, claimed that Mr. Akanat is qualified to serve in the case and that a position under the party’s quota is still open.
” Mr. Akanat’s recognition has been recognized by party members and professionals. He made significant contributions to the preceding election campaign, and he excelled in congress.
After Mr. Pichai signed a document dividing up tasks within the department, Mr. Krisada resigned to Pichai Chunhavajira, the newly appointed finance minister and a deputy prime minister, according to another cause.
Because he has been given the authority to handle just one state agency, the Public Debt Management Office, was this perceived as reducing Mr. Krisada’s supervisory role.
Mr. Krisada stated in his resignation letter that his primary motivations for leaving as deputy finance minister were that he and Mr. Pichai had a unique labor theory and that Mr. Pichai had not treated him with admiration when they collaborated.
However, Wisut Chainarun, a Pheu Thai MP and general government whip, on Monday dismissed speculation that the criticism Democrat Party may be invited to join the coalition government.
There is no need to resign from the partnership because the state has more than enough support among its members.
” With another coalition party joining, issues regarding the limit of cabinet posts did arise”, he said.
