webfact Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Democrat party split over sharing of cabinet seats The Democrat party is split over the sharing of eight cabinet posts allocated to them by the Palang Pracharat party. The party’s executive committee is scheduled to meet at 2pm this afternoon to discuss who, among the party members, are qualified for the eight posts. Party MPs will join the meeting at 3pm. The positions offered to the Democrats are: One deputy prime minister Commerce minister An agriculture post Social development and human security minister Four deputy ministerial posts for transport, interior, public health and education A well-informed party source said that a group of party members, who were closely associated with Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban’s People’s Democratic Reform Committee which spearheaded the protests against the government of Yingluck Shinawatra, and candidates contesting the party leadership post want the party’s list of potential ministers to be reviewed.

The real truth as to why the PDRC spearheaded the protest. It was all for financial rewards; probably promised by the junta. It was all planned and they are doing it for the money. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang_paarp Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I wonder what became of the pronouncement that Prayut was going to pick his own cabinet. How does this fit with the parties scrapping over who they want to be in "their" ministries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Suthep's side will do well out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the betterment of Thailand meant last 5 years under military rule and next 4 years of dictatorship democracy, hey you may be right and I should fell remorseful to cast them in a bad light. Then these heroes deserved their bribes oops should be reward working for this undeserving government. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
