The ethical and disciplinary committee of the opposition Pheu Thai party will consider how to deal with seven dissident MPs, who voted in support of the government’s budget bill forthe 2023 fiscal year in defiance of the party whip, according to party leader Chonlanan Srikaew.

 

The 3.18 trillion baht budget sailed through its first reading inthe Lower House early Friday morning, with 278 votes for,192 votes against and two abstentions.

 

He said yesterday (Saturday) that the party could choose not to take punitive action against the seven because, according to the Constitution, voting is the exclusive right of individual MPs.
