Pheu Thai deputy party leader Phumtham Wechayachai has urged all those concerned to work together in the attempt to form a government, in order that pressing problems can be addressed and resolved “so the country and the people will survive.”

 

After breaking from the eight-party coalition, led by the Move Forward party, Pheu Thai has been lobbying senators and MPs hard for support of Srettha Thavisin, the party’s prime ministerial candidate. They are also asking several parties in the current government to join its coalition, before the haggling starts over cabinet portfolios.

 

Phumtham admitted that it is a challenge to form a government due to the abnormal political situation, which he described as rather critical, but he insists that the party has been trying hard to achieve its goal, based on political realities.

 

Due to the country’s structural problems, pertaining to the Construction, relevant laws and political division, he said that having a prime minister who is acceptable to all parties will help build confidence.

Finally, we know the real motive from PT. They do their best “so the country and the people will survive.”

We are so lucky to have such dedicated politicians working for us. It's for our survival.

Thank you for your work, thank you. We will never forget your sacrifice.

Pheu Thai Party confides challenges in forming new Thai coalition government

In an evolving political landscape where the constitution, power structures and group conflicts have become major challenges, the Pheu Thai Party acknowledged that manoeuvring the formation of a new coalition government is far from simple.

 

 

According to Pheu Thai’s Deputy Leader, Phumtham Wechayachai, the party has to remain committed and steadfast in its approach to lead the nation out of this crisis.

 

“A range of internal and external factors have transformed Thailand and its politics over the past eight to nine years. The orchestrating of a government is certainly no child’s play. We have to stand firm in our resolve and our leadership, else navigating the coalition partners’ disparities and guiding the country out of this crisis will be an uphill battle.”

 

Pheu Thai now bears the responsibility of implementing the policies promised to the voters in the May 14 General Election, in a bid to enhance the country’s situation while pioneering the new government. Phumtham said…

“We are going to ensure that our challenges do not become national problems and we certainly are not prioritising our personal interests over public benefits.”

In their quest to mitigate the political crisis, Pheu Thai is inviting increased cooperation from all concerned parties and is hopeful for the best. These remarks came even as the initial vote for the second prime minister, scheduled for Friday, was deferred.

Rubbish! Due to the insatiable greed to control the bottomless trough! 

Serves you right PT, now you're having to crawl to the senators to try and get Settha over the line.

The price? High for sure, maybe impossible. At least including Pravit etc in the government.

And if Settha fails, the baton passes to Bhumjaithai and PT will be the junior party in a government full of pro junta parties.

All to please your owner who only cares about himself

Pheu Thai seeks cooperation to solve current political impasse

You had the solution and stuffed it up by climbing into bed with the military.

If your not part of the solution you are part of the problem.

If they were in the least bit interested in standing firm they wouldn't have dumped the Move Forward party.

Just need to offer better trough access.
