Pheu Thai Party will drop the army-backed Palang Pracharat Party from its coalition when it forms the next govt
Mr Prawit Wongsuwon, leader of the army-backed Palang Pracharat Party, failed to show up for a parliamentary vote to approve new PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
“The Palang Pracharat Party will not be involved in the formation of the government,” Mr Sorawong Thienthong, Pheu Thai secretary-general, told Reuters. Mr Sorawong shrugged off the loss of seats and said Pheu Thai’s coalition could still expect to have more than 300 of the 500 parliamentary seats.
