Bangkok: “Chusak” insists on following the Prime Minister, not adjusting the cabinet, still compatible with the Bhumjaithai Party. Mr. Chusak Sirinil, Minister attached to the Prime Minister’s Office, has reiterated the Prime Minister’s confirmation that there will be no cabinet adjustments, a move aimed at maintaining stability within the political alliances, particularly with the Bhumjaithai Party. He addressed concerns regarding potential ripples within the Pheu Thai Party, asserting that such concerns would be alleviated by the Prime Minister’s decisive stance.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Chusak emphasized that the coalition parties are committed to supporting the government’s policies, despite past misunderstandings. He expressed confidence that the Prime Minister’s leadership and the coalition’s willingness to collaborate will foster a better understanding of the political landscape. The Prime Minister, holding the authority to adjust the cabinet, has clearly indicated that no changes will be made, ensuring that no party should encounter issues.

When queried about the Pheu Thai Party’s internal desires to alter ministries related to trade, Mr. Chusak acknowledged it as an internal affair requiring discussion. He recognized party members’ concerns and stressed the need for collaborative efforts to address economic issues, such as improving goods pricing, following the Prime Minister’s recent statements.

Addressing potential impacts on Pheu Thai’s popularity, Mr. Chusak refrained from making conclusive analyses, noting that tangible governmental achievements and problem-solving are paramount. He acknowledged the political calculations involved and the implications of any potential removal of the Bhumjaithai Party, highlighting the importance of maintaining a compatible political environment.

Mr. Chusak also discussed the upcoming extraordinary parliamentary session scheduled between May 28-30 to deliberate on the annual budget bill for fiscal year 2026, along with two royal decrees related to technology crime and digital asset business. He expressed optimism that the eased political situation would facilitate smooth deliberations and avoid any budget bill overturns.

In response to inquiries about the possibility of a cabinet reshuffle post-budget bill approval, Mr. Chusak indicated that such decisions rest with the Prime Minister, and the current stance remains unchanged. He emphasized the transient nature of politics and the need for a moment-to-moment perspective on future developments.
