Bangkok: The Prime Minister visited Government House today to pay respects to the statue of Narasimha, drawing attention to an anticipated cabinet reshuffle, particularly focusing on the "Anutin 2" appointment.
According to Thai News Agency, Anutin Charnvirakul arrived at Government House at 9:42 AM. Upon arrival, he proceeded to the Thai Khu Fah building to pay respects to the statue of Narasimha before commencing his daily responsibilities. This visit occurs amidst intense scrutiny of the progress in forming the new government, especially after reports emerged indicating that the coalition government has secured support from 300 votes. Further developments are expected as the Bhumjaithai Party will reportedly engage in discussions with the Pheu Thai Party tomorrow to deliberate on the allocation of ministerial quotas in Anutin's second government.
Additionally, there are reports highlighting the thorough verification process of the qualifications of prospective ministers, a task undertaken by the Cabinet Secretary. This process aims to avert potential legal complications that could arise in the future.
For today's schedule, the Prime Minister is set to attend a royal reception at 1:30 PM for Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. This event marks the groundbreaking ceremony for the royal crematorium's construction for the cremation ceremony of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, at Sanam Luang.
