The party rejects the Kao Klai party's proposal to directly amend chapters related to the Monarchy and reduce the Senate's powers, highlighting Kao Klai's withdrawal of prior support for Pheu Thai's motion.
Pheu Thai asserts its CDA approach is the most pragmatic and achievable path, requiring broad cross-party and senatorial support, and prioritizes this method to avoid risking the entire constitutional amendment process.
