United Thai Nation party joins Pheu Thai-led coalition
- The United Thai Nation (UTN) party, led by Secretary-General Akanat Promphan, has joined the Pheu Thai-led coalition, citing a national 'turning point' despite their bitter past rivalry.
- Akanat explained the alliance is crucial to prevent a major party (Move Forward) from amending the lèse majesté law, a policy Pheu Thai also opposes.
- Promphan views this decision as a necessary step towards ending historical 'colour' conflicts and fostering national reconciliation, allowing the country to move forward.
- UTN will not cooperate on amending Chapters 1 and 2 of the constitution, and Akanat will not accept a cabinet portfolio due to a pending criminal case.
