PM ‘might considering Cabinet reshuffle’
Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha might reshuffle a Cabinet in less than a year after taking power, according to sources.
The premier has reportedly already informed the leaders of the coalition partners of the impending changes.
However, the exact date is not known yet, though it is believed that the changes would not affect the stake of the parties in the government and each party would be asked to pick their own nominees.
Energy Minister Sontirat Sontijirawong said that the reports of the change were still unofficial and the premier would be the one to make the final decision.
He also said that the bigger size of the coalition parties might have some influence on the change.
Suwit Mesinsee, Minister of University, Science, Research and Innovations, who it is rumoured would be reshuffled as he does not have the backing of MPs, said that everyone must wait for a statement from the prime minister.
