Warathep Ratanakorn, former deputy finance minister, and Phumtham Wechayachai, another former Thai Rak Thai executive and now Pheu Thai director, said it was not true as reported that the former Thai Rak Thai executives wanted Cabinet seats.
Warathep said former Thai Rak Thai executives had not held discussions on pressuring Yingluck to reshuffle the Cabinet to bring some of them into the Cabinet.
Warathep said the reports were either rumours or incorrect analyses by other groups.
