Social observers believe that the Klatham Party’s enticing of MPs from various political parties is a calculated move to strengthen its bargaining power and help the Pheu Thai Party in the event that the latter breaks its ties to Bhumjaithai.
After head Narumon Pinyosinwat confirmed this week that more than 10 MPs from several different parties are expected to fault to it soon, Klatham’s fall on the social scene is closely watched.
If an MP is expelled while serving, they are not officially prohibited from changing events.
The appointment of MPs by Klatham is a moderate- and long-term strategy to increase its social leverage in order to fill more government positions, according to Stithorn Thananithichot, chairman of the King Prajadhipok’s Institute.
More governmental seats are undoubtedly a discount for the party. The MPs may still cast their votes as instructed by Klatham when important legislative proposals, such as the budget bill, are up for a vote in the House of Representatives, he said.
If no gathering secures a significant gain, Klatham will still be a medium-sized group after the next elections, which means it will be a deciding element in the formation of a state. He added that the group will benefit from a party’s first dissolution.
Klatham is rumored to ally with the Pheu Thai Party if the latter doesn’t fulfill its goal, he said.
In the event that the Shinawatra community becomes embroiled in politics, the group is being built, according to the researcher, to help its main director, Capt Thamanat Prompow.
After Kongkiat Ketsobat’s victory in the by-election in Nakhon Si Thammarat with 38, 680 vote, the group’s first victory in the state, said Olarn Thinbangtieo, a teacher in political science at Burapha University.
The group has figured out how to maneuver and is making the most of the growing conflicts between Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai, he said, to strengthen its position as the coalition’s potential third-largest party.
According to Mr. Olarn, the conflict between the two parties has caused politicians in the so-called” brother” parties to indicate on their careers and decide to start looking for new parties to confirm their democratic survival. The functions of Palang Pracharath and United Thai Nation are referenced by the name.
Klatham now has more influence and is able to expect to win more governmental messages because of its growth and alliance with Pheu Thai. This is an opportunity for the MPS who are looking for fresh events, he said.
He added that Klatham’s rise may help the political struggling Pheu Thai, which has the ability to scavenge in regions that the ruling group has failed to exploit.
According to Mr. Olarn, Klatham has the ability to secure more than 30 tickets in upcoming elections because it has a lot of resources at its disposal and appears to have found a way to fight Bhumjaithai, as seen in the results of the most current by-election in Nakhon Si Thammarat’s Constituency 8.
Klatham’s news about defectors was a move to contract for seats in the cabinet, according to Progressive Movement core member Pannika Wanich. However, she expressed doubts about whether the party can entice as many” snake MPs” to successfully appoint Anutin Charnvirakul, the Bhumjaithai chief, to become the party’s interior minister.
She likewise harshly criticized Chon Buri MP Krit Chevathamanon of the PP for severing ties with the organization and demanded that he be fired because of a political issue. According to Ms. Pannika, the MP was chosen as a result of the party’s leadership but has since betrayed citizens.
