Chaturon Chaisaeng clarifies the exodus of Pheu Thai politicians, dismissing internal conflicts as the cause.
He asserts that the party faces persistent political mistreatment and tactics designed to prevent its return to power since the 2014 coup.
The party confronts two critical challenges: the threat of dissolution without legal basis and a new electoral system engineered to weaken major parties like Pheu Thai.
These systemic pressures compel members to seek new affiliations to safeguard their political futures and mitigate potential damage.
