His withdrawal is due to his party not being allocated any government positions, despite his long-standing loyalty and assistance to Thaksin.
Sereepisuth, a former national police commissioner, threatens to expose secrets about Thaksin, specifically regarding his stay at the Police General Hospital during his prison sentence.
He claims these revelations could lead to prosecution and imprisonment for involved individuals and awaits an invitation to testify before the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).
