PPRP president boils over in the barrel.
A conflict between party secretary-general Thamanat Prompow and party leader Prawit Wongsuwon, who has threatened to leave the party after being removed from the list of cabinet nominees, has caused the Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ) to become tumultuous.
As new Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is negotiating the texture of her government with coalition allies, the pair are reportedly arguing over who should be nominated for supervisory positions.
According to the resources, Gen Prawit has chosen his younger brother, Pol Gen Phatcharavat Wongsuwan, to be the party’s healthy solutions and culture minister because of a limit of four cabinet positions.
Santi Promphat, the custodian Deputy Public Health Minister, was nominated for Capt. Thamanat’s past government’s crops and cooperatives portfolio.
According to the resources, Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn was nominated for lieutenant agriculture and cooperatives secretary, a position he held in the previous Srettha Thavisin leadership.
According to the resources, the ruling Pheu Thai Party has already received a list of governmental nominations from the PPRP.
Capt. Thamanat declared on Tuesday that he and a group of 29 MPs would keep the PPRP after being annoyed that he had been removed from the list.
However, the resources said some users of Capt Thamanat’s party are expected to join the new government.
Given his conviction and sentence for a drug-related offence in Australia in the 1990s, Capt. Thamanat has been taken off the PPRP’s record of governmental votes because he may get deemed unfit to carry a case article.
If Ms Paetongtarn appoints Capt Thamanat as a government secretary, she may experience a petition seeking her departure, related to her father, Mr Srettha, who was dismissed by the Constitutional Court for an morality violation for appointing ex-convict Pichit Chuenban as a PM’s Office minister, the publications said.
Capt Thamanat stated on Tuesday that he would not wish to speak with Gen Prawit because he would no longer apply him.
” As he does not have any use for me again, I do not need to talk”, Capt Thamanat said.
He claimed to have contributed to the party’s formation, worked for it for six years, and was satisfied with the party’s “one people and one group long enough.”
” It’s time for me to take a step up without engaging in any dispute with someone,” he said.” It’s time for me to consider my freedom.”
” From now on, I am ready to leave, with different people, for a location where there is happiness,” Capt Thamanat said.
He claimed he had planned a breakfast with people who share his vision for the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives on Tuesday.
Capt. Thamanat claims to have control over 29 of the 40 PPRP MPs, whereas the alliance parties collectively have more than 300 Members in the 500-seat House.
When asked how many Members under his command, Capt Thamanat replied that the response may be made public soon.
” This say that we separate ourselves obviously. But I wo n’t ruin the nation or the government, “he said.
Asked if he was excluded from the PPRP’s governmental votes list, Capt Thamanat said that was really debate. The group’s election portfolio is not required to include the prime minister.
Capt. Thamanat was found guilty on March 31, 1994, of conspiring to buy cocaine into Australia, and he was sentenced to four years in an American jail. He was deported upon his release, served four times, and was given a six-year prison sentence. He denies the charge and claims that it is “flour” to the legislature.
However, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is commonly believed to be Pheu Thai’s de facto leader, on Tuesday denied reports that he met Gen Prawit to clear the air over the formation of the new government.
When asked whether Gen Prawit’s conflict with Capt Thamanat may halt the formation of a new government, Thaksin claimed Pheu Thai had established a board to review cabinet nominations.
When asked to comment on the PPRP sect between Gen Prawit’s and Capt Thamanat’s, Thaksin said the one that contributes the most to the state is fit to join the new state.
