"Phumtham" reveals that all coalition parties have submitted their cabinet list, except for "Palang Pracharath". He asked for a clear agreement on whether to merge or split the group. He will submit the list today. As for whether it violates the political party law, he will wait and see. He pointed out that if there is no agreement, he will go to another dimension. He did not reject the Democrats joining, but it has not reached that stage yet. Mr. Phumtham Vejjayachai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce, revealed after chairing the opening ceremony of the Thailand e-Commerce Expo 2024 at True Icon Hall, 7th floor, ICONSIAM shopping center, about the progress of submitting the list of ministers from the coalition government parties in the Palang Pracharath Party. As the core party in forming the government, which group will accept the list, Pheu Thai Party, stating that at present, almost all the names have been received, leaving only the Palang Pracharath Party that is still unclear. As for whe ther to stick to the list of General Prawit Wongsuwan, leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, or Colonel Tham Prompao, secretary-general of the party, please talk among yourselves to reach a conclusion. If they reach a conclusion, it will be over. But if there is no conclusion, we will have to see what happens. And when the reporter asked if according to the law, political parties can do this or not because the law states that any action of a political party must be a resolution of the party executive committee, Mr. Phumtham stated whether he is still a party or not. If he is still a party, we must follow the party resolution. But if he splits up, he must become a political group and a political party. And when asked further that Colonel Thammanat stated that if the Palang Pracharath Party did not expel them, they would stay like this. Can they join the government or not according to the political party law? Mr. Phumtham said that we have to look at the details first. However, from what I heard today, we wi ll quickly arrange it to be clear. Please be clear. At the same time, it was revealed that there was a mediator from the Palang Pracharath Party who called to talk. I told him to arrange it to be clear. What kind? Let society know. Don't each give news that this side is fine. That side is fine. Because we will not interfere. It depends on how to manage. Let's see how to join together to form a government. When asked which side the person who called to talk to was from, Mr. Phumtham said that he was a neutral person in the party, and laughed before repeating that he was a neutral person in the party. When asked about the mediator who called to coordinate for both sides or to choose a side, Mr. Phumtham said that he probably did not choose a side, but he wanted to see clarity, so let him handle it. We have no problem. We want clarity. We think that people who can truly cooperate will not stab each other in the back or have problems while working together. That's all we want so that the government can quickly move forward with its work. As for the news that the Democrat Party will join the government, Mr. Phumtham did not deny it, but said that it has not reached that stage yet. It is still here. All of them who joined hands, are they still joining hands? The only thing left is the Palang Pracharath Party, which is not yet clear. At this time, we have to make it clear whether or not it will still be the same party. And are we satisfied with the conditions that have been proposed? We will then make it clear. And when asked again whether the Palang Pracharath Party would be able to take over immediately if it was not clear, Mr. Phumtham said that if it was not clear, both parties might not get it, or might get one party or the other, which would have to be discussed. As for whether a deadline must be set, Mr. Phumtham said that it must be done today, but he would not specify whether it must be done by 4 or 5 p.m. As for whether it must be completed today, Mr. Phumtham emphasized that it must be done as soon as po ssible. As for whether it can be confirmed that the Palang Pracharath Party, which is divided into two factions, will not join the government, Mr. Phumtham said that if that is the case, we may have to go to another dimension where we have to go and choose. As for whether to choose the group with more MPs, Mr. Phumtham said that he would have to look at the details again. Mr. Phumtham also admitted that he had talked to Colonel Thammanat about some internal problems in the Palang Pracharath Party. As for the list of ministers from the Pheu Thai Party, there is no problem. When everything is in order for the Pheu Thai Party, everything will be in order. As for whether Mr. Phumtham will be in the same ministry or not, Mr. Phumtham laughed before saying, 'I am not the one who decides where he will be. I don't even know yet.' As for whether he prefers the Ministry of Interior or the Ministry of Commerce, Mr. Phumtham said that any ministry is fine, before sweetly saying, 'I also love Commerce.' Source: Thai News Agency
