However, in the PM election, initially scheduled for next Tuesday, Pheu Thai would receive even wider support as several parties have vowed to vote for the candidate of the Pheu Thai-led coalition, including Palang Pracharath Party which has 40 MPs.
Akaradej added that his party decided to join the alliance as Pheu Thai does not have a policy to amend the lese majeste law.
He dismissed rumours that the allocation of ministerial posts had been discussed.
The Pheu Thai-led coalition has continually reiterated that it seeks votes from all parties, regardless of political affiliation, to iron out Thailand’s three main crises: the constitution, the economy, and disputes in society.
