PM announces his decision to join United Thai Nation Party

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha officially joined the United Thai Nation Party, ending months of speculation about his political affiliation for the upcoming election.
His decision stems from the party's commitment to nominate him for the premiership, allowing him to continue "unfinished projects" from his current government.
Prayut informed Deputy PM Prawit Wongsuwan of his move, asserting their personal bond remains "unbreakable" despite the political shift.
The move is expected to prompt several MPs, particularly a faction led by Labour Minister Suchart Chomklin, to defect from the Palang Pracharath Party to the United Thai Nation Party.
