Government warned not to attempt to gain majority control in parliament

15 Sept 13:47 Key points summarised by AI

People’s Party MP Parit Wacharasindhu issued a strong warning to the Bhumjaithai Party against expanding its coalition to secure a parliamentary majority, citing a breach of their prior agreement.
The warning follows reports of MPs from other parties seeking to join Bhumjaithai, which would violate the terms under which the People's Party supported Anutin Charnvirakul as prime minister.
The agreement stipulated that the new government must dissolve the House in four months, refrain from seeking majority control, and hold referenda on a new charter.
The People’s Party, holding substantial parliamentary votes, threatened a censure debate to oust the government if Bhumjaithai attempts to renege on the written agreement, also raising concerns about the new justice minister's potential interference in a land scandal.
