Pheu Thai's Srettha Thavisin reportedly intends to personally oversee cabinet formation and negotiations, excluding the Democrat and United Thai Nation parties from his coalition due to their past opposition to Yingluck Shinawatra.
He is open to collaborating with the Palang Pracharath party, provided Prawit Wongsuwan does not accept a cabinet position.
Srettha insists on including the Move Forward party to secure full public support and promises to nominate only reputable individuals for ministerial posts.
However, Srettha later denied making these specific stipulations, stating that all conditions must be discussed and agreed upon with the other seven coalition parties.
