Akanat calls the TikTok emigration “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 leave and are attempting to join the New Opportunity Party, which was largely founded 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 household in the group.
In less than three decades, the UTN did undoubtedly challenge the upcoming election. The group has developed into a powerful melting pot, he continued, despite its people ‘ comings from all walks of life.
All admires the part of group chief 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 low profile when performing his governmental duties.
The UTN broke away from the then-ruling Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ) before last year’s general election. Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, a former prime minister, gave the foundation’s approval.
However, the Kla Dharma Party did fully say 20 past PPRP MPs into its fold on Thursday, according to a group cause.
The 20 Members, led by former PPRP secretary-general Capt Thamanat Prompow, are due to appear together 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 may 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 president, while Phai Lik, the MP for Kamphaeng Phet, is tipped to become its secretary-general.
