The Palang Pracharath Party issued a statement supporting the two prime minister candidates from the Pheu Thai Party, reiterating their stance not to amend Section 112 and to move beyond the conflict, revealing that the quota of ministers still has 4 positions, no ministry exchanges. Mr. Santi Promphat, deputy leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, led 40 MPs of the Palang Pracharath Party to announce their position on joining the government after the party's MP meeting, saying that the Palang Pracharath Party still supports the person on the prime ministerial list of the Pheu Thai Party to be the next prime minister in the House of Representatives meeting tomorrow (16 August). The Palang Pracharath Party adheres to the democratic regime with the King as Head of State, upholds and preserves the institutions of the nation, religion, and the monarchy. The Palang Pracharath Party maintains its unchanged position of not joining any party with a policy to amend Article 112 of the Criminal Code. The Palang Pracha rath Party adheres to its policy of overcoming conflicts in order to promote national reconciliation and unity, and will cooperate to solve the problems of our brothers and sisters in terms of the economy and equality, as well as to develop our country to be stronger. Today's resolution has been informed to General Prawit Wongsuwan, the leader of the Palang Pracharath Party. As for tomorrow, will General Prawit Wongsuwan, a party-list MP and leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, travel to raise his hand to vote for the prime minister himself? Colonel Thammanat said that he will discuss with General Prawit again, who admitted that in the last prime ministerial vote, General Prawit did not travel to vote. However, General Prawit gave power to Mr. Santi, Ms. Trinuch Thienthong and himself to coordinate with the MPs, and the MPs resolved according to Mr. Santi's statement. Colonel Thammanat said that the quota of ministers of the Palang Pracharath Party will remain at 4 positions as before and confirmed that a fter the prime minister has been appointed, the coalition parties and the Palang Pracharath Party led by Mr. Santi and Ms. Trinuch and himself will go to talk and discuss further, especially policies, with the coalition parties. However, there has been no request to exchange ministries. As for whether there will be a swap of positions in the party or not, that depends on the party leader. As for the Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidates, I don't know. According to the Pheu Thai Party's list, there are two people who are ready to support both of them, no matter who they are. As for whether the Pheu Thai Party will proceed with the digital wallet policy, Colonel Thammanat said that after the informal discussion, the Pheu Thai Party will be the one to announce the news itself. In the case of Mr. Chaikasem Nitisiri, the prime ministerial candidate of the Pheu Thai Party, who was involved in amending Section 112, Colonel Thammanat said there was no need to worry. This matter can be solved and there is a way out. He clearly confirmed that the Palang Pracharath Party upholds the monarchy. Source: Thai News Agency
