Akanat claims that Twitter discuss from Exodus is “baseless.”
The United Thain Party ( UTN) Party ) has denied that 25 of its 36 MPs are switching parties.
UTN secretary-generalAkanat Promphandismissed the rumoured exodus on Wednesday as baseless, saying all party MPs were elected together under the UTN banner and will keep sticking together.
He disputed rumors that up to 25 Members in the third-largest partnership group, with 36 MPs, planned to resign and are attempting to join the New Opportunity Party, which was largely led by officials.
Mr Akanat, who is also the economy minister, said the Members continue to work with the group to understand its objectives. ” No one is going anywhere”, he said, adding everyone is treated like home in the group.
In less than three decades, the UTN did undoubtedly challenge the upcoming election. Although its people come from all walks of life, he continued, the group has developed into a potent melting pot.
All admires the part of group head Pirapan Salirathavibhaga, who is also a deputy prime minister and the energy secretary, Mr Akanat said.
Criticism has come from Mr. Pirapan’s accusation that he is aloof to different party members and that he keeps a small profile when performing his ministerial duties.
The UTN broke away from the then-ruling Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ) before last year’s general election. It was established with the approval of Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, a former prime minister.
However, the Kla Dharma Party did fully say 20 past PPRP MPs into its fold on Thursday, according to a group cause.
The 20 MPs, led by former PPRP secretary-general Capt Thamanat Prompow, are due to appear up at a press conference on Thursday to reveal their account of Kla Dharma at congress.
After a contentious rift between PPRP executives, the 20 MPs defected to Kla Dharma, allegedly over the section of cabinet positions held by the PPRP, a group that is now a part of the opposition bloc.
Kla Dharma is led by Agriculture Minister Narumon Pinyosinwat, even a past PPRP heavy.
The party does overhaul its board once the MPs are actually admitted as members, according to the source, with some of the newly enrolled MPs being appointed as executives.
Capt Thamanat is expected to get named as the group’s expert chair, while Phai Lik, the MP for Kamphaeng Phet, is tipped to become its secretary-general.
