The Cabinet has approved Pakdeeharn Himathongkham as deputy government spokesman, following the transfer of Anuttama Amornvivat to secretary of the Social Development and Human Security Minister, acting government spokeswoman Thitiman Chaisaeng said yeste
"It is a quota from the Bangkok group," Thitima said, referring to a faction within the Pheu Thai Party led by banned politician Sudarat Keyuraphan.
"The reasons for changing the deputy spokesman are Anuttama’s lack of ability in explaining economic issues, and Sudarat’s wish for Pakdeeharn to work on Bangkok related topics," a source from Pheu Thai party said.
The term of Bangkok’s governor expires next January and Pheu Thai will put up a candidate to contest the election against the Democrats.
