The Palang Pracharath Party Grapples with Inner Conflicts during Cabinet Formation

[snoop1130]

 

The Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) has put forward four ex-ministers from Srettha Thavisin's term for roles in the new government headed by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, as stated in a party announcement on Wednesday. These nominations are presently being assessed by the Prime Minister's Secretariat as per the usual screening process.

 

Although the PPRP stressed its constant collaboration with the Pheu Thai Party and restated the solidarity of its 40 MPs in supporting Prime Minister Paetongtarn, the party is experiencing internal conflict as it arranges the formation of the new cabinet.

 

Sources say a schism has formed between groups led by the party's head Gen. Prawit Wongsuwon and its general secretary and acting agriculture minister Capt. Thamanat Prompow. Thamanat alluded on Tuesday that details on the distribution of ministerial slots within the party will be announced today. He was spotted in conversation with Pheu Thai's key figures in a coffee shop this morning to debate the ministerial nominations from his group.

 

Reports suggest that one of Capt. Thammanat's picks, Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn, is also one of Gen.Prawit's choices, underscoring the ongoing dispute within the party.

 

In addition, three prominent figures from Thamanat's group have been nominated: Capt. Thamanat himself or his brother Akkara Prompow, who is an MP from Phayao province, Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn, and Santi Promphat, or an MP from Santi's team.

 

The continuous conflicts within the PPRP could add challenges to finalizing the cabinet as the Pheu Thai Party contemplates its choices for ministerial appointments.
