Pheu Thai drops Palang Pracharath party from coalition

14 Sept 12:07 Key points summarised by AI

Pheu Thai's executive committee decided to exclude the Palang Pracharath party from the ruling coalition.
The exclusion is due to concerns over Palang Pracharath's internal rifts and leader General Prawit's absence from key prime ministerial votes.
Pheu Thai may invite a new party or the cooperative rebel faction of Palang Pracharath, led by Thammanat Prompao, to join.
The Democrat party has also expressed interest in joining the coalition to bolster government stability, a move supported by former PM Thaksin Shinawatra.
