Pheu Thai has declared that it will not alter Article 112 in any way and will put forward former real-estate tycoon Srettha Thavisin as its sole PM candidate in the next round of voting on Friday.
Chonlanan said he was confident that Srettha will win the PM’s post that day, adding that details of the new coalition partners will be released on Thursday.
He also said that despite dropping Move Forward, Pheu Thai will uphold policies that both parties share, such as drafting a new charter, promoting equal marriage, reforming the military and dismantling monopolies, especially in the alcohol industry.
The next election will be held once the new Constitution has been written, Chonlanan said.
Pheu Thai deputy leader Phumtham Wechayachai, meanwhile, said it was up to Move Forward to decide whether it will back Srettha in the upcoming PM vote.
