PM apologizes to Panpree and vows to shoulder consequences

13 Sept 19:43 Key points summarised by AI

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin apologized to Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara for removing him from the deputy premier position, a decision that subsequently led to Parnpree's resignation as foreign minister.
Parnpree cited 'principles' for his resignation, stating his belief that losing the deputy premiership undermined his credibility, particularly on the international stage, despite being offered to retain the foreign ministry portfolio.
The incident has reportedly shaken the Srettha administration's credibility, prompting the Pheu Thai party to consider offering Parnpree an advisory role, though his acceptance remains uncertain.
