Deputy PM Gen Prawit Wongsuwan denied any conflict with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, despite widespread reports of a political fallout.

He emphasized their long-standing 40-50 year brotherhood, dismissing conflict rumors as media speculation, even as Ruam Thai Sang Chart openly courts Prayut for the next prime ministerial candidacy.
