"Pheu Thai Party"

The opposition, led by Pheu Thai and Move Forward parties, are getting ready to attack the government over the 2022 national budget in Parliament from Monday.

Pheu Thai’s Maha Sarakham MP and party deputy chief Yutthapong Jarassathian submitted a letter to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday urging him to suspend the Green Line Skytrain fare increase to a maximum Bt104, which is to commence on February 16.

Pheu Thai MP Sompong Amornviwat, who is also opposition leader, brought up the principles and reasons for the existence of Thailand’s Constitution. He was speaking at a joint Senate and House of Representatives meeting in Parliament on Wednesday (September 23).

Several Pheu Thai Party lawmakers pledged to support pro-democracy student protesters and have offered to provide bail in case they are arrested.

Pheu Thai MP Chavalit Vichayasuthi said that a proposal by the ruling Phalang Pracharat Party to allow students participate in Parliament was too late to resolve the conflict.

Singer-turned-actor-turned-politician Rattapoom “Film” Tokongsup decided to ditch his membership with coalition partner Palang Thong Thin Thai Party (PTTT) and sign up on August 19 with opposition leader Pheu Thai Party.

The Pheu Thai Party will focus on questioning Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha’s qualifications during the parliamentary debate on the new government’s policies next week, a key party figure said on Friday.

Opposition MPs urged the prime minister on Thursday to pay heed to comments from politicians at next week’s parliamentary debate on the new government’s policies.

The opposition is pushing for three days of parliamentary debate on the government's policy statement, instead of the two days suggested by the ruling coalition bloc.

The Opposition plans a censure motion towards the end of the year against the new government led by General Prayut Chan-o-cha, newly-elected Pheu Thai Party leader Sompong Amornwiwat said on Friday.

Senior politician Sompong Amornwiwat was elected the new leader of Pheu Thai Party on Friday, as widely expected.
