PPRP reshuffles forces, Thammanat likely to be removed from Agriculture Minister position


The cabinet list of the Palang Pracharath Party’s proportions, “Santi” holds the list, discussing with Pheu Thai core members, his name appears to sit as Minister of Agriculture instead of “Thammanat”, while “Patcharawat-Attakar” sit in the same seats, “Chaiwat” has a chance to sit as Deputy Minister of Public Health.

Reporters reported on the progress of the cabinet formation of the Palang Pracharath Party. The latest report is that Mr. Santi Promphat, Deputy Minister of Public Health and Deputy Leader of the Party, is representing the party to discuss the names with the core members of the Pheu Thai Party, who still hold the original 4 positions of the party: 2 Ministers and 2 Deputy Ministers. However, they may not all be the same people because there is concern about the qualifications that may be in violation of ethical standards of Colonel Thammanat Prompao, Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, which must be watched because Mr. Santi’s name will be moved up to be Minister of Agriculture instead.

I
f Mr. Santi moves to the position of Minister of Agriculture, as for the Deputy Minister of Public Health, Mr. Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn, former Minister of Digital Economy and Society in the government of General Prayut Chan-o-cha, will replace Mr. Santi.

While Pol. Gen. Patcharawat Wongsuwan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, remains in the same position, the same goes for Mr. Atthakorn Sirilathayakorn, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, who will remain in the same position.

The list of names in proportion to the Palang Pracharath Party will be submitted to the Pheu Thai Party leaders tomorrow (August 20) to see if they agree with the proposed list.
