Pheu Thai asks to study the Constitutional Court's ruling in detail after "Settha" leaves the PM's position, "Sruang" says "Paetongtarn-Chaikasem" are ready to take over, preparing to discuss with coalition parties, emphasizing adherence to the principle of core leaders' quota first, confident in moving forward with digital wallet The atmosphere of the House of Representatives meeting while the Constitutional Court was reading the verdict on the status of Prime Minister Settha Thavisin, the MPs, especially the Pheu Thai Party MPs such as Dr. Cholanat Srikaew, MP for Nan and Mr. Wisut Chainarun, MP for the party list, closely followed the reading of the court's verdict by using their mobile phones to follow the online channel. In addition, the MPs who were not in the meeting room also followed the verdict from their personal rooms and the committee room. After the Constitutional Court ruled that Mr. Settha should be removed from the position of Prime Minister, the Pheu Thai Party MPs who were in the House o f Representatives meeting room gathered to talk in groups, with their faces not looking good. Mr. Surawong Thienthong, Secretary-General of the Pheu Thai Party and some MPs of the Pheu Thai Party gave an interview about the next step for Mr. Settha Thavisin to leave the position of Prime Minister, saying that they will have to look carefully at the Constitutional Court's ruling to see if Mr. Settha still has the qualifications to be nominated as a candidate or not. There are also 2 more candidates of the Pheu Thai Party, Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, and Mr. Chaikasem Nitisiri, which after this will be the next step of the party. As for the possibility that if the Constitutional Court does not allow Mr. Settha to return as a prime ministerial candidate, who will be nominated as prime minister, between Ms. Paethongtarn and Mr. Chaikasem, it is possible for both of them. And at this time, there are still coalition parties. There will have to be discussions between the coaliti on parties. As for the nomination of the next prime ministerial candidate, will it still be the Pheu Thai Party's quota? I would like to talk to the coalition parties first. When asked if the Pheu Thai Party still insists on the principle that the number 1 party must submit the name of its own candidate first, Mr. Surawong said that it must be confirmed that way. But the person who will become the next prime minister or the remaining two candidates are ready to hold the position. But now, let's meet in the party first, especially the party executive committee, which must call an urgent meeting. He emphasized that before anything else, the Constitutional Court's ruling must be examined in detail first. Mr. Surawong also gave encouragement to Mr. Settha through the media that all of us, Pheu Thai Party, are working with full intention and this is not the first time that Pheu Thai Party, Thai Rak Thai Party, has had an incident like this, but we stand firm to fight for the well-being of the people. During the answer to this question, Mr. Surawong paused and his voice trembled, and it was clearly noticeable that Mr. Surawong had tears in his eyes. When asked if he felt demoralized, as many in the Pheu Thai Party had not been worried before, and even seemed confident that Settha would be acquitted, Mr. Surawong said that everyone was confident in Settha's innocence, as he had said in his previous interview. He did not mention the numbers he had heard. We never considered that, but rather considered the origin of Settha's innocence. He viewed that everything had passed, and he had to make the future better and continue to perform his duties well. Meanwhile, Mr. Surawong also confirmed that the 10,000-baht digital wallet project, which is the flagship policy of the Pheu Thai Party, will continue. At present, there has been no discussion or coordination with the coalition parties, and he thinks that working together should not be a problem. However, the coalition parties should be invited to discuss the next directio n. He confirmed that in the end, the Constitutional Court's ruling must be carefully considered, and the party's MPs in the parliament only gathered to discuss and continue their legislative duties firmly. They will continue to work in the parliament as strongly as possible. As long as the coalition parties propose the next prime ministerial candidate, they are happy and willing to proceed. As for when the meeting will be held, he does not know yet, but they must wait for Ms. Paethongtarn to return from abroad. A moment ago, he called Mr. Phumtham Vejjayachai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce, who is on duty abroad, and he will return as soon as possible. Mr. Surawong confirmed that it would not go as far as changing sides, but he would like to talk within the coalition parties first about what to do next. As for the position of Deputy Speaker of the House, it is a matter for the legislative branch. In fact, it is a quota, but the Bhumjaithai Party itself has resolved to send Mr. Paradorn Prisa nanantakul, Deputy Leader of the Bhumjaithai Party. Nothing will change. -312. Source: Thai News Agency
