Chart Thai Pattana (CTP) party confirmed its decision to remain in the government coalition, prioritizing national security and stability amidst current controversies.
CTP leaders cited a lack of comprehensive information regarding the Prime Minister's recent discussions with former Cambodian PM Hun Sen as a factor in their decision to maintain support.
The United Thai Nation (UTN) party remains undecided, with its leader stating he will first discuss the party's stance with the Prime Minister before making an announcement.
An internal UTN source indicated a potential openness to a change in prime ministerial leadership, suggesting Chaikasem Nitisiri as a possible replacement.
