Bangkok (VNA) – Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, leader of Thailand’s newly established People's Party, has said his party will continue to lead the opposition as the biggest party in the parliament, and will not back the current coalition ahead of a House vote on a new premier on August 16, according to the Bangkok Post newspaper.
The People's Party is the latest incarnation of the Move Forward Party (MFP), which was dissolved by the Constitutional Court last week.
On August 14, the charter court found Srettha Thavisin guilty of a gross violation of ethics for appointing ex-convict Pichit Chuenban as a minister of the Prime Minister's Office. The ruling resulted in Srettha being dismissed as prime minister after less than a year in office and also terminated all positions in the cabinet./.
