People’s party sets seven conditions for supporting an interim PM
14 Sept 02:54Key points summarised by AI
The People's Party is open to supporting interim prime ministerial candidates from Bhumjaithai or Pheu Thai, should the current PM be removed by the Constitutional Court.
Their backing is contingent upon the candidates accepting seven preconditions, prominently featuring a referendum for drafting a new constitution.
The party also insists that an interim government must address pressing national issues and dissolve the House before the end of the year.
Leveraging its position as the party with the most MPs, the People's Party intends to use its decisive votes to navigate the country out of its current political deadlock.
