Bangkok: Chulaphan Amornvivat, leader of the Pheu Thai Party and Chiang Mai MP, revealed plans for a discussion with Teng but refrained from disclosing the date. The announcement comes in light of Sirikanya Tansakul’s decision to submit a no-confidence motion against the government. Chulaphan expressed no surprise at Sirikanya’s actions but urged for clear discussions within the party regarding the matter.

According to Thai News Agency, Chulaphan questioned whether the no-confidence motion had been coordinated with the Prachachon Party. Sirikanya Tansakul, party-list MP and deputy leader of the Prachachon Party, recently suggested that the government’s problems weren’t severe. She had an informal meeting with Natthaphong Ruangpanyawut, leader of the Prachachon Party and opposition leader, and plans to meet again soon, though the date remains undisclosed. They are expected to discuss constitutional amendments and various motions requiring parliamentary coordination.

Sirikanya’s comments reflect the ongoing relationship between the Prachachon Party and the Bhumjaithai Party. Chulaphan expressed concern about the potential impact of the no-confidence motion on the country. He emphasized the need for internal discussions within the party to assess the Prachachon Party’s perspective. He noted that Sirikanya’s views might not represent the entire opposition, highlighting differing opinions within the Prachachon Party on government damage. He called for the party to clarify its position before proceeding with any motion.

Chulaphan addressed concerns about damages related to issues like Senate collusion and Khao Kradong. He emphasized the importance of determining whether irregularities existed and urged the People’s Party to consider these factors in their decision-making.

Regarding Pheu Thai’s potential proposal, Chulaphan stressed their independence as an opposition party, free from MOA constraints. He highlighted the need to prioritize national benefit, available information, and any potential damage before making decisions.

Chulaphan also discussed the constitutional amendment, noting its importance but clarifying it shouldn’t delay other processes. The Pheu Thai Party considers it a priority, assessing the government’s and senators’ intentions. While a special session was requested for November, delays have pushed it to December, further extending the amendment process. The final vote is expected at the end of December, determining the government’s and MPs’ stance on the amendment.
