In response to rumors that a pending case change, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra dismissed the possibility of the Bhumjaithai Party being expelled from the alliance, Chiang Mai.

Thaksin, the father of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, made a statement in an meeting with the media on Saturday that the top has the sole authority to reshuffle the case.

Additionally, according to Thaksin, a big cupboard shake-up would need to be carried out by all coalition parties, not just the decision Pheu Thai.

His remarks were made in response to rumors that the Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai parties might be forced out of the coalition and replaced by the Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ) as a result.

He claimed that there is no such thing as allowing any group to enter the antagonism camp.

He even shied away at talk about incorporating the PPRP into the government, saying that the present coalition government is in good shape and that if any changes were made, they do involve shifting positions rather than changing the composition of the coalition.

There is no need for [renegade MPs from opposition parties ] to include creatures either. We already have enough seats, Thaksin asserted.

The original elite, who is widely regarded as the de facto leader of Pheu Thai, also dismissed a plea for political positions buyers filed with the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division in connection with his hospital stay.

Previous Democrat MP Charnchai Issarasenarak filed the case after arguing that Thaksin had not actually served time in prison and had requested that the court hold an inquiry into the discussion.

In the meantime, the PPRP reiterated on Saturday its decision to no enlist in the Pheu Thai-led state.

Gen Prawit Wongsuwon and the executive committee are in charge of making a proper selection, according to PPRP official Pol Lt Gen Piya Tawichai, who has consistently ruled out working with Pheu Thai.

This melancholy ally with Bhumjaithai will have to be withstanded by Phuket Thai. The ruling party may want to veto it, but it worries about conceivable repercussions from the Senate and that some members of the United Thai Nation Party perhaps withdraw, he said.

The 200-member Senate was in close proximity to Bhumjaithai, according to the PPRP official.

Some think that a social upheaval could lead to proper ethics inquiries into the prime minister being initiated by the Senate.

Pol Lt Gen Piya even criticized the government’s financial strategy, particularly its suggestion to use 500 billion ringgit in response to the US’s proposed trade tariff increase.

He stated that the PPRP is extremely worried about the government’s ability to pay the amount.
