Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said Deputy PM Somsak Thepsutin, Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit and Digital Economy and Society Minister Prasert Chanthararuangthong would soon resign as party-list MPs.

“There’s nothing extraordinary about it because our Cabinet members have their hands full with work,” Phumtham said.
