Urgent : Pheu Thai coalition? Don’t count on it, says Wissanu
Play
Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam has called Wednesday’s announcement of a Pheu Thai-led coalition preparing to form a government merely psychological strategy that will not bear fruit.
“The truth will be known after May 9 when the Election Commission endorses all of Sunday’s poll results,” Wissanu said soon after the anti-junta bloc of seven parties held a press conference.
The bloc claims to have “at least” 255 seats in hand to start building a government.
The final seat tally is subject to change since the commission has only announced 95 per cent of the voting results.
Wissanu also noted that some MPs could be issued “red or orange cards” over electoral violations, and would affect their parties’ seat counts.
“So, nothing is certain,” he said.
