Bangkok: The Prime Minister remained silent and avoided answering media questions regarding the PM2.5 dust issue, opting instead to make a zipping motion across his lips and stating, "Let me go to Chiang Mai first." This occurred as Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul arrived to preside over a seminar focusing on policy and guidelines for the 2027 fiscal year budget at Muang Thong Thani. His gesture of zipping his mouth shut was a clear indication of his reluctance to discuss the environmental concern at that moment.

According to Thai News Agency, on April 20, 2026, at 9:00 AM, another significant political event unfolded at the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) office located in the Government Complex on Chaeng Wattana Road. Mr. Mongkolkitt Suksintharanon, also known as "Tae," appeared before the ECT to clarify complaints regarding his previously presented space policy. Critics have argued that the policy might be unrealistic and impractical.

Mr. Mongkolkitt, before making his statement, expressed his readiness to provide comprehensive information and facts to demonstrate the policy's feasibility and transparency. This clarification is a part of the Election Commission's investigation process, initiated following a complaint by a petitioner. The EC is currently examining the facts to ascertain whether there is sufficient evidence or if the allegations represent a breach of election laws. The investigation will continue, and the EC will announce its findings once a decision is reached.
