Palang Pracharath still hopes to join coalition

13 Sept 12:27 Key points summarised by AI

The Palang Pracharath party (PPRP) is actively pushing to be included in the Pheu Thai-led governing coalition.
PPRP deputy leader Paibul Nititawan claims Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has an obligation to include them, citing their 40 MPs' support for her candidacy.
Paibul warned that not honoring the alleged promise could lead to accusations of lacking “evident integrity” against the Prime Minister, referencing a past Constitutional Court ruling.
Despite the warning, PPRP denies threatening the Prime Minister and states they are prepared to assume an opposition role if not included in the government.
