Nine smaller parties vow to stick with the government

14 Sept 00:24 Key points summarised by AI

Nine smaller parties, previously threatening to form an independent opposition bloc, have reversed their stance and pledged continued support for the government coalition.
Deputy Agriculture Minister Thammanat Prompao successfully intervened, persuading the parties to remain loyal after they expressed dissatisfaction over being denied ministerial portfolios.
The parties will receive political appointments, with their nominees taking up positions to allow the MPs to retain their parliamentary seats.
This resolution leaves only one dissenting 'lone wolf' party, solidifying the government's coalition and ensuring a more unified political front.
