Pirapan asserts that Prayut has shown no indication of joining and that UTN was not established as a political vehicle for the Prime Minister.
Amidst rumors of a political fallout with his current party, Palang Pracharath, PM Prayut continues to remain silent on his future political plans.
While acknowledging that Prayut's membership would significantly boost UTN, Pirapan states the decision ultimately rests with the Prime Minister.
