Pheu Thai leader denies backroom deals: High-ranking Parliamentary roles still up for grabs

[webfact]

 

The Pheu Thai leader denies allocating high-ranking Parliamentary roles for his party, asserting that discussions are still ongoing to fill key positions. Despite rumours of potential nominees, Pheu Thai chief Chonlanan Srikaew maintains that no final decision has been made.

 

Chonlanan addressed the ongoing negotiations concerning the appointment of the President of the House of Representatives, stating that talks between his party and the Move Forward Party (MFP) began yesterday, May 30, and no conclusions have been made yet. They have been working together to address the numerous responsibilities related to the council.

 

Chonlanan emphasised that leadership roles should not be viewed as a reward or quota for any political party, as key positions require the attention of both the Pheu Thai and MFP to properly address the challenging issues at hand. He noted that the conclusion would not be reached by June 6 due to the separate working groups involved.

Time for people with the skill sets to do the top jobs... not as bribes for being an ally.

Their skill sets are terribly homogenous and has little to do with serving the people. 

 

What do you call a couple of thousand politicians chained to the bottom of the ocean?
