MFP's secretary-general dismissed speculation that PT conceded the speakership under conditions related to MFP leader Pita Limjaroenrat's potential failure to secure the premiership.
PT's leader expressed surprise at the reports, stating no such deal was offered and that the party's leadership will finalize its position at an upcoming meeting, reiterating unwavering support for Pita as prime minister.
