BANGKOK: Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, and a key figure in the Bhumjaithai Party, said in an interview on Tuesday (Feb 24) that he was unaware of reports claiming the party had sealed a deal to form a government commanding 300 MPs, adding that the matter should be directed to the party’s executive committee.
Asked whether having only one major party — Pheu Thai — alongside smaller parties would be sufficient, Phiphat said the question should be put to the party leader and the Bhumjaithai executive committee.
