Overthrow the Thai People's Party leadership! Young reformist MP Punnawat openly stated that he refuses to support the Puea Thai Party's Chatchai Asapradit to replace Paetongtarn.
The leader of the People's Party, Nattapong, has just announced that he has communicated with Thaksin on the future prime minister, and requested that party members and senior officials not publicly express support for anyone. On the 30th, MP Punnawat released a statement via Facebook stating that he chose to exercise his voting rights according to his own will, and refused to support Chatchai Asapradit, an important ally of Thaksin, to become the Prime Minister.
Punnawat stated that his main reason for making this decision is: 1. The Puea Thai Party has been in power for two years, and its policies have almost failed to be implemented, especially the prices of rice, cassava, and beef have all dropped; 2. Large-scale conflicts occurred on the border between Thailand and Cambodia, especially in the Kanchanaburi area.
Punnawat emphasized that particularly the judgment of the Constitutional Court, which found Paetongtarn guilty and removed her from office, prompted him to think seriously. The Puea Thai Party and its government should be responsible to the people and pay the price, rather than just Prime Minister Paetongtarn personally. This is why he will not support the Puea Thai Party's candidate, Chatchai Asapradit.
Punnawat is one of the youngest members of the Thai People's Party and is expected to vote for Anutin Chaichan, the leader of the Siam Pride Party, as Prime Minister.
