People’s party condemns protest leaders for advocating for a coup

20 Sept 03:12 Key points summarised by AI

The People's Party vehemently condemned protest leaders advocating for a coup to overthrow Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's government, urging the public to withdraw support from the Ruam Palang Paendin movement.
While acknowledging that demands for a prime minister's resignation are democratic, the party stressed that advocating a coup is unconstitutional, undemocratic, and would worsen the country's political problems.
The party reiterated its call for the Prime Minister to dissolve the House, facilitating a general election to resolve political issues.
A NIDA Poll indicated People's Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut as the most popular choice for Thailand's next prime minister (31.48%), significantly outpacing incumbent Paetongtarn (9.20%).
The same NIDA Poll revealed the People's Party as the most favored political party, securing 46.08% of the votes.
