‘Anutin’ ready to support Pheu Thai people to sit as PM, denies competing for the seat because he respects the rules and etiquette, the agreement between the coalition parties remains the same.
Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, said about meeting with former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to discuss with the coalition parties at the Chan Song La house last night that it was according to the news and waiting for the core party, Pheu Thai Party, to make an announcement. As for the name of Chaikasem Nitisiri as the prime minister, Anutin accepted that it was according to the rules, etiquette, and process. Today, even though Settha Thavisin must leave his position, the core party is still Pheu Thai Party. According to the principle, the core party with the most MPs must nominate a suitable person to be the prime minister.
If the Pheu Thai Party nominates Mr. Chaikasem and is not approved, will the next person be Mr. Anutin, ready to accept the position? Mr. Anutin said that it has not hap
pened yet. Don’t do it. Today, if we can form a new government as soon as possible, the country will not lack administration. It will be beneficial to the people. Let’s try to make things continuous first.
Some people think that the Bhumjaithai Party still has a chance with 71 MPs in hand with other allies and coalition parties and there are rumors that Mr. Anutin will fight, Mr. Anutin confirmed that there is no Bhumjaithai Party, it adheres to the rules, it is still a coalition party, it is the party with the second largest number of MPs.
‘I didn’t sneak into this house and then crawl into that house. Yesterday, I left the meeting house. Someone said I went to a meeting or something. There was nothing. I went to eat at Saeng Sao Chingcha restaurant,’ said Nan Anutin.
As for whether setting the early prime ministerial vote date is a quick game changer, Mr. Anutin said that it is in accordance with the process and there is no game changer. The country’s problems cannot be stopped. If we can solve the probl
ems as quickly as possible, it will benefit all parties involved.
Regarding Mr. Chaikasem’s health concerns, Mr. Anutin said that he had to ask his doctor. How could he ask Dr. Nu?
Mr. Anutin also emphasized that in this situation, the position of Prime Minister must be with the Pheu Thai Party, not another party, which must respect the rules and etiquette of living together. The maturity of the person who will become the party leader as an MP already has a tradition and adheres to that, which makes us comfortable.
As for the chance of changing the government, Mr. Anutin said that he had always said that if he was not the first political party but became the prime minister even though he was the second or third party, he could not accept that in the morning he would drive out of the house as the prime minister but in the evening he would return as the former prime minister. If that happened to him, his mind would not be as strong as Mr. Settha, the former prime minister, so he would not let those things ha
ppen to him. What he would not let him experience was respecting the rules. And if he received trust from the people, believed in and elected Bhumjaithai to get the first MP seat, no one would be able to take the prime minister position from Bhumjaithai.
“I’m not fighting now, but I’ll fight when the election comes. Now, what am I going to fight for? We have rules for the prime minister position. But when the election comes, we have to push policies and drive forward with all our might. Go fight at the election. The word “fight” means selling all policies that will make the people trust us and choose us. But today is not the time,” said Mr. Anutin.
Mr. Anutin reiterated the position of the Bhumjaithai Party, regardless of who Pheu Thai Party proposes, Bhumjaithai still considers that the agreement between the coalition parties is still the same, no entry, no exit, that is, honoring the monarchy, not touching, not amending, not touching Section 112,
that’s all, the rest is the Pheu Thai Party’s business.
A
s for the proportion of the cabinet members in the coalition government, will it remain the same after having a new prime minister? It was said that they should get the position of prime minister first.
