Bangkok: “Big Pom” has remained steadfast in the face of the House Secretary’s assertion that he cannot be nominated as Prime Minister due to insufficient MP support. Despite the Secretary-General of the House of Representatives’ statement regarding the necessity of having at least 25 MPs backing him, Gen Prawit Wongsuwan, the leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, insisted that he is not aiming for the prime ministerial position but is merely speaking in accordance with the law.

According to Thai News Agency, Gen Prawit, who is also an MP for the party list, addressed questions from reporters about the issue. He clarified that he was not bothered by the situation and reiterated his commitment to adhering to legal standards. Gen Prawit emphasized that his statements were grounded in legal principles.

When questioned about the possibility of the Palang Pracharath Party increasing its number of MPs, Gen Prawit chose not to respond. Instead, he highlighted the importance of the government tackling economic challenges as a priority in moving forward with political matters.

In response to inquiries about his determination, Gen Prawit confidently stated that he has no intention of giving up, suggesting that it is the government that should reconsider its stance.
