Two recently expelled Move Forward MPs, Wuttiphong Thonglour and Chaiyamparwaan Manpianjit, face an uncertain political future, needing to find new party affiliations within 30 days to retain their parliamentary seats.
Major government coalition parties, Bhumjaithai and Prachachat, have publicly rejected accepting the expelled MPs, citing sufficient parliamentary votes and potential internal conflicts.
The former Thai Civilized Party leader, Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, offered to accept the MPs into his party to prevent costly by-elections, contingent on their public apology for past wrongdoings.
