Bhumjaithai pushes for no-confidence debate against PM and ministers

13 Sept 12:26 Key points summarised by AI

Bhumjaithai party has moved to initiate a no-confidence debate against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and her cabinet, scheduled for when parliament reconvenes on July 3.
The party's decision stems from a leaked conversation between PM Paetongtarn and Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen, leading to a declared loss of trust.
Bhumjaithai recently withdrew from the coalition government, citing political disagreements, particularly over the Interior Ministry portfolio, and a general loss of confidence.
The no-confidence motion requires the support of at least one-fifth of all MPs, with Bhumjaithai seeking backing from other opposition parties to meet this constitutional threshold.
