Former deputy prime minister Somkid Jatusripitak, chairman of the Sang Anakhot Thai Party (SATP), will move to the Palang Pracharath Party to strengthen the PPRP's economic team, sources said.
As speculated, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has parted company with the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), a move political observers believe will lead to major changes in the ruling party and allow its leader Gen Prawit Wongsuwon to pursue his political ambitions.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha finally broke his silence over his political future when he signed up with Ruam Thai Sang Chart, known as the United Thai Nation (UTN) Party, on Monday.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will likely apply for United Thai Nation (UTN) membership after the New Year, party leader Pirapan Salirathavibhaga said on Tuesday.
Supporters of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha have welcomed his decision to join the United Thai Nation (UTN) Party, saying the party should team up with the ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) to boost their prospects in the next election.
