Prime Minister Anutin readies defences as Thamanat Prompow’s Kla Tham Party positions for government

Thailand’s political battle lines are shifting fast as Capt Thamanat Prompow’s 58-MP Kla Tham Party abandons the opposition and edges towards Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s government. The upheaval comes as opposition parties prepare a no-confidence assault targeting Anutin and key ministers. At its centre is the Senate selection scandal, where a 5–2 Election Commission split exposed deep divisions over evidence involving political figures. Meanwhile, 77 respondents face Supreme Court proceedings, including 26 serving senators who could be suspended. The opposition is also targeting a ฿4.5 billion examination scandal and ฿1.6 billion TH-AI programme. Now Thamanat’s Kla Tham could join the coalition by November, putting Cabinet seats, the Agriculture Ministry and a major reshuffle in play.

Thailand’s political map is shifting again as the 58-MP Kla Tham Party moves away from the parliamentary opposition. The change comes at an awkward moment for Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. Opposition parties are preparing a no-confidence motion against his government. Meanwhile, the 2024 Senate selection affair has returned to the centre of political scrutiny.

Capt Thamanat Prompow’s Kla Tham Party broke ranks on September 10. All 58 MPs supported the government’s 2027 budget bill at its third reading. Crucially, they voted against the opposition whip’s agreed position. That decision forced opposition leaders to resolve an increasingly uncomfortable relationship.

Subsequently, opposition whip chairman Parit Wacharasindhu held discussions with Kla Tham representatives. The talks ended with Kla Tham leaving the opposition coordinating committee. Parit, a People’s Party MP, announced the decision on September 21. He said the budget vote had raised questions about Kla Tham’s commitment to government scrutiny.

Kla Tham leaves opposition whip as five parties regroup and reports point towards a government move

Kla Tham spokesman Atthakorn Sirilathayakorn offered a different emphasis. He said the party remained willing to cooperate on parliamentary work. However, Kla Tham would decide important votes according to what it considered the national interest. “The Kla Tham party will continue to work as representatives of the people and push for Parliament to solve the country’s problems, no matter which side we are on,” he said.

As part of the reorganisation, a new opposition whip list is being prepared. It will pass through the opposition leader before reaching the House Speaker. Five parties will form the new structure. They are the People’s Party, Democrat Party, Thai Pakdee, Seri Ruam Thai and Sai Ruam Phalang.

Notably, Sai Ruam Phalang has moved in the opposite direction to Kla Tham. During this parliamentary session, it supported opposition positions on important votes. Those included the emergency borrowing decree and the 2027 budget bill. The reconstructed opposition is now pressing ahead with its planned censure motion.

Outside parliament, attention has turned to Kla Tham’s next destination. Local and political sources report it could formally enter Anutin’s government by November. Ministerial positions have also entered those discussions. In particular, the Agriculture Ministry has featured prominently in reports surrounding the possible move.

Anutin plays down Kla Tham reports as its 58 MPs could significantly expand the coalition majority

For now, no coalition agreement has been announced. Nor has any ministerial allocation been confirmed. Asked about the reports while in New York, Anutin responded with a joke. He said he was too far away and the “signal” had not reached him.

In response, Bhumjaithai spokeswoman Nan Boonthida Somchai publicly played down the reports on September 22. She said no coalition expansion had been discussed at the party’s weekly MPs meeting. Instead, members had questioned where the speculation originated. She also maintained that the existing coalition remained unchanged.

Nevertheless, the parliamentary arithmetic explains why Kla Tham matters. One current estimate puts Bhumjaithai at 192 MPs and Pheu Thai at 74. Kla Tham controls another 58 seats. Together, those three forces would account for 324 MPs. Smaller coalition partners could take the broader figure towards 349–352 MPs.

Those calculations remain hypothetical because Kla Tham has not joined the coalition. Yet the party’s parliamentary weight is substantial ahead of a confidence vote. Its departure also leaves the opposition reorganising just as it prepares its principal attack on Anutin.

At the same time, another dispute is gathering force. On September 14, the Election Commission concluded its consideration of the 2024 Senate selection investigation. The overall inquiry involved 427 respondents and 67 complainants. Its files ran to 75,722 pages.

Election Commission narrows vast Senate investigation to 77 cases while political figures avoid referral

The politically sensitive section had previously centred on 229 people. They included 138 senators and 91 political figures or other individuals. Earlier investigative work had recommended proceedings across that wider group. However, a later subcommittee voted 5–2 to clear all 229 before the full commission considered the files.

Ultimately, the Election Commission chose a narrower course. It resolved to pursue Supreme Court petitions and criminal proceedings against 77 people. Of those, 26 are serving senators. Another 36 were eligible participants in the Senate selection process. The remaining 15 were other individuals.

Significantly, no MPs or political office-holders were included among those 77 respondents. Anutin was not referred to the Supreme Court. Neither was influential Bhumjaithai figure Newin Chidchob. Minister attached to the Prime Minister’s Office Paradorn Prissananantakul also escaped referral.

The commission separately considered accusations involving political assistance during the Senate selection. Those proceedings covered 21 political figures and others. Under the relevant law, political office-holders cannot help or hinder candidates seeking Senate selection.

Here, however, the commissioners divided. The decisions were not identical across all 21 respondents. Seven were cleared unanimously, while two received 6–1 decisions. Another 12 were cleared by 5–2 votes. Anutin was among those in the 5–2 group.

Two Election Commissioners dissent as evidence points to provincial meetings and suspected voting lists

Two Election Commissioners opposed clearing several key political figures. They were Sitthichot Intrawises and Chai Nakornchai. Afterwards, Sitthichot publicly explained why he believed proceedings should continue.

According to Sitthichot, the evidence should be assessed collectively rather than as isolated pieces. He pointed towards meetings and suspected voting arrangements across several provinces. These included Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phuket and Nong Bua Lamphu. Uthai Thani, Nakhon Sawan and Sukhothai also featured.

Moreover, Sitthichot referred to suspected voting lists linked with successful candidates. Some lists corresponded with rankings from first through seventh positions. He also described involvement by MPs and political party personnel. According to his account, party personnel were assigned to particular areas during the selection process.

Separately, investigators examined a gathering at Bangkok’s Pullman hotel on July 21, 2024. Location information reportedly placed at least 40 senators there. Investigators also examined 12 suspected voting lists. Telephone records and financial information formed additional strands of the inquiry.

EC majority cites retracted statements and weak phone evidence as opposition prepares its censure attack

Sitthichot also referred to accounts that mobile telephones were collected during the hotel gathering. In addition, he cited information about a political figure reportedly seen leaving the venue. For the dissenters, these strands justified taking the matter further.

The five-member majority reached another conclusion. Election Commission chairman Narong Klanwarin subsequently explained weaknesses identified in important parts of the evidence. One concerned the withdrawal of witness statements. In the case involving Ekkarat Changlao, 16 of 26 relevant statements were retracted.

Furthermore, Narong questioned whether telephone location information alone established wrongdoing. He also said investigators had not identified abnormal financial transactions sufficient to support the political accusations. The majority therefore declined to proceed against Anutin and the other political figures concerned.

That decision settled the Election Commission’s position on those respondents. It did not erase the commissioners’ disagreement over the evidence. The published split consequently gives opposition MPs material they can examine during parliamentary proceedings.

Parit said last week that opposition parties planned to submit their no-confidence motion during September. Anutin is expected to face extensive questioning. Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaichanok Chidchob is another principal target.

Opposition targets Senate affair, exam scandal and TH-AI as 77 respondents face Supreme Court

On one front, the opposition intends to pursue questions arising from the Senate selection affair. The dissenting commissioners have provided a detailed evidential route for that scrutiny. However, the commission’s formal majority decision remains that the political respondents concerned should not face proceedings.

On another front, MPs are targeting the ฿4.5 billion local government examination scandal. Investigators are examining suspected manipulation involving roughly 2,000 candidates. Already, ฿320.86 million in assets has been seized or frozen. The affair has also drawn attention towards figures connected with the government.

In parallel, the opposition is scrutinising the ฿1.6 billion TH-AI Passport programme. More than 1.4 million registrations have been recorded. Procurement questions have attracted political and state scrutiny. Its proposed ฿900 million second phase has also lost funding.

Anutin has repeatedly denied Bhumjaithai involvement in wrongdoing surrounding the Senate selection. On September 20, he again rejected suggestions that the investigation implicated his party. He spoke before leaving Thailand for the United States.

Legally, the Election Commission majority decision left Anutin outside the Supreme Court proceedings. The remaining 77 respondents now face a different process. The commission must prepare its decision and lodge Supreme Court petitions within 60 days.

Senators face suspension if court accepts petitions as Kla Tham talks add pressure inside Bhumjaithai

Once the Supreme Court accepts a petition against a serving senator, that senator must stop performing Senate duties. The suspension continues until the court delivers judgment. Therefore, the next legal stage could directly affect 26 serving senators.

Alongside those proceedings, the Department of Special Investigation continues examining aspects of the wider affair. Its work is separate from the Election Commission process. Thus, the September 14 ruling did not close every investigative route connected with the Senate selection.

Against this background, possible Cabinet negotiations with Kla Tham carry additional significance. Its reported interest in the Agriculture Ministry raises questions about existing ministerial quotas. Any accommodation would also affect factions already represented inside Bhumjaithai.

Dr Satithorn Thananitichot, from Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Political Science, has examined those internal pressures. Speaking to a local source, he said signals of a possible Kla Tham move had existed for some time. He linked the current discussions with the approaching no-confidence proceedings.

As for ministerial positions, Dr Satithorn questioned whether Kla Tham would receive the Agriculture Ministry. Instead, he identified one minister and two deputy ministers as one possible formula. That remains his assessment rather than an agreed allocation.

Bhumjaithai factions face Cabinet reshuffle as Kla Tham seeks representation in new coalition

Inside Bhumjaithai, several important Cabinet positions are concentrated among the party’s core “Luk Thep” faction. Other groups have yet to receive comparable ministerial representation. Accordingly, accommodating newcomers could require a wider redistribution of existing posts.

Dr Satithorn suggested some “Luk Thep” ministers could step aside during a mid-term reshuffle. Their portfolios could then be redistributed among other Bhumjaithai factions and new coalition entrants. Still, no reshuffle plan or revised quota has been publicly confirmed.

Pheu Thai would also have interests in any Cabinet negotiations. The party currently has 74 MPs and holds five ministries. Higher Education Minister Yodchanan Wongsawat has said Pheu Thai remains comfortable inside the coalition. “We are getting along quite well,” he said.

Political sources have also discussed a separate Kla Tham-Pheu Thai alignment. Under that scenario, Kla Tham MPs could move towards Pheu Thai rather than enter government independently. No such transfer has occurred. Likewise, neither party has announced such an agreement.

Kla Tham leaves decision to senior talks as opposition and EC move towards their next formal steps

Kla Tham itself has left the final question open. Atthakorn said any decision on joining the Bhumjaithai-led government “depends on talks between senior people”. Transport Minister Pipat Ratchakitprakarn has meanwhile directed questions about Kla Tham towards Anutin.

Pipat said he had heard nothing from the Prime Minister about such an arrangement. That leaves the formal coalition unchanged while negotiations and reports continue outside public view.

The opposition, by contrast, has a defined procedural course. Its reconstructed five-party whip is moving through parliamentary channels. Separately, the no-confidence motion is being prepared for submission.

Meanwhile, the Election Commission has its own deadline. Its 77 cases must now be prepared for the Supreme Court within 60 days. For the 26 serving senators involved, acceptance of those petitions would trigger immediate suspension from duty.

在生活、媒体、政治、泰国

随着塔玛纳·普罗姆波上尉领导的拥有58名议员的克拉坦党放弃反对派立场，转而向总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔的政府靠拢，泰国政坛格局正在迅速变化。与此同时，反对党正准备对阿努廷及其关键部长发起不信任动议。此次动荡的核心是参议院选举丑闻，选举委员会以5比2的投票结果暴露了各方在涉及政治人物的证据问题上的严重分歧。此外，77名选民面临最高法院的审判，其中包括26名可能被停职的现任参议员。反对派还将矛头指向了一项耗资45亿泰铢的考试丑闻和一项耗资16亿泰铢的TH-AI项目。如今，塔玛纳的克拉坦党可能在11月加入执政联盟，届时内阁席位、农业部以及内阁改组都将面临考验。

随着拥有58名议员的克拉坦党退出议会反对派，泰国的政治版图再次发生变化。这一变化对总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔来说时机颇为尴尬。反对党正准备对他的政府发起不信任动议。与此同时，2024年参议院选举再次成为政治关注的焦点。

9月10日，塔玛纳·普罗姆波上尉领导的克拉坦党打破了党内团结。该党全部58名议员在三读表决中支持政府的2027年预算案。至关重要的是，他们投票反对了反对党党鞭此前达成的共识。这一决定迫使反对党领导人不得不着手解决日益紧张的关系。

随后，反对党党鞭帕里特·瓦查拉辛杜与克拉·塔姆的代表举行了会谈。会谈结束后，克拉·塔姆退出了反对党协调委员会。帕里特是人民党议员，他于9月21日宣布了这一决定。他表示，预算案的投票引发了人们对克拉·塔姆是否真正致力于接受政府监督的质疑。

随着五大政党重组，克拉·塔姆退出反对党党鞭，有报道指出政府可能采取行动。

克拉坦党发言人阿塔空·西里拉塔亚空则提出了不同的观点。他表示，该党仍然愿意在议会工作中予以合作。然而，克拉坦党将根据其对国家利益的判断来决定重要投票。“无论我们站在哪一边，克拉坦党都将继续作为人民的代表，推动议会解决国家问题，”他说道。

作为重组的一部分，新的反对党党鞭名单正在制定中。该名单将先经反对党领袖审核，再提交给议长。新的反对党联盟将由五个政党组成，分别是人民党、民主党、泰百党、泰瑞党和赛瑞党。

值得注意的是，赛鲁安帕朗党（Sai Ruam Phalang）的立场与克拉坦党（Kla Tham）截然相反。在本届议会期间，该党在多项重要投票中支持反对派立场，包括紧急借款法令及2027年预算案。重组后的反对派目前正推进其计划中的不信任动议。

在议会之外，人们的目光转向了克拉塔姆的下一步动向。当地和政治消息人士称，克拉塔姆可能在11月正式加入阿努廷政府。部长职位也成为讨论的焦点。尤其值得一提的是，农业部在有关此次可能变动的报道中占据了显著位置。

阿努廷淡化了有关克拉坦的报道，因为该党58名议员可能大幅扩大联盟的多数席位。

目前尚未宣布任何联合组阁协议，也未确认任何部长人选。阿努廷在纽约被问及相关报道时，开玩笑地回应说他离得太远，“信号”还没传到他那里。

对此，泰自豪党发言人南汶提达·颂猜于9月22日公开淡化了相关报道。她表示，该党每周的议员会议上并未讨论过扩大执政联盟的事宜。相反，议员们质疑这些猜测的来源。她还强调，现有执政联盟保持不变。

然而，议会席位的划分解释了克拉谭党为何如此重要。目前估计，泰自豪党拥有192个议席，为泰党拥有74个议席，克拉谭党则控制着另外58个议席。这三方共计拥有324个议席。如果其他较小的联盟伙伴也加入，最终的议席总数可能达到349至352个。

这些计算仍属假设，因为克拉塔姆党尚未加入执政联盟。然而，在信任投票前夕，该党在议会的影响力不容小觑。它的退出也使得反对派在准备对阿努廷发起主要攻击之际，不得不进行重组。

与此同时，另一场争议也在酝酿之中。9月14日，选举委员会结束了对2024年参议院候选人遴选调查的审议。此次调查共涉及427名受访者和67名投诉人，案卷多达75722页。

选举委员会将参议院的大规模调查范围缩小至77起案件，而一些政治人物则试图逃避移交。

此前，涉及政治敏感问题的调查重点是229人，其中包括138名参议员和91名政治人物或其他人士。早期的调查工作曾建议对这一群体进行全面调查。然而，在全体委员会审议相关文件之前，一个后续小组委员会以5比2的投票结果决定对所有229人予以免责。

最终，选举委员会选择了更为谨慎的做法。它决定对77人提起最高法院上诉和刑事诉讼。其中，26人是现任参议员，36人是参议院选举的合格参与者，其余15人是其他人员。

值得注意的是，这77人中没有国会议员或政治官员。阿努廷没有被移送最高法院。泰自豪党的重要人物纽因·奇乔布也没有。总理府部长帕拉东·普里萨南塔库尔也未受到牵连。

委员会另行审议了有关参议院选举期间政治干预的指控。这些程序涉及21名政治人物及其他人士。根据相关法律，政治官员不得帮助或阻碍参议员候选人的选举。

然而，委员会在此案中出现了分歧。21名被告的决定并不完全相同。其中7名被告获得一致通过，2名被告以6比1的投票结果通过，另有12名被告以5比2的投票结果通过。阿努廷就属于5比2通过的那一组。

两名选举委员持不同意见，因为证据指向省级会议和可疑的选民名单。

两名选举委员会委员反对澄清几位关键政治人物的选举结果。他们分别是西提乔特·因特拉维斯和柴·纳空猜。之后，西提乔特公开解释了他认为选举程序应该继续进行的原因。

西提乔特认为，应该对所有证据进行整体评估，而不是孤立地看待它们。他指出，在多个府都存在会议和疑似投票安排的情况，其中包括洛坤府、普吉府和侬磨兰普府。乌泰他尼府、那空沙旺府和素可泰府也牵涉其中。

此外，西提乔特还提到了一些与当选候选人有关的可疑投票名单。有些名单上的排名从第一名到第七名不等。他还描述了议员和政党人员的参与。据他所述，在遴选过程中，政党人员被分配到特定区域。

此外，调查人员还调查了2024年7月21日在曼谷铂尔曼酒店举行的一次聚会。据报道，地点信息显示至少有40名参议员出席了此次聚会。调查人员还检查了12份疑似投票名单。电话记录和财务信息也构成了此次调查的其他线索。

选举委员会多数派援引已撤回的声明和薄弱的电话证据，反对派准备发起谴责攻击。

西提乔特还提到，有报道称在酒店集会期间有人收缴了手机。此外，他还援引消息称，有人看到一位政治人物离开了会场。对于持不同意见者而言，这些迹象足以证明他们将此事进一步追究到底是合理的。

五名成员组成的多数派得出了另一项结论。选举委员会主席纳隆·克兰瓦林随后解释了证据重要部分中发现的缺陷。其中一个缺陷涉及证人证词的撤回。在埃卡拉特·昌劳的案件中，26份相关证词中有16份被撤回。

此外，纳隆质疑仅凭电话定位信息是否足以认定存在不当行为。他还表示，调查人员并未发现足以支持政治指控的异常金融交易。因此，多数法官决定不对阿努廷和其他相关政治人物提起诉讼。

该决定确立了选举委员会对这些候选人的立场，但并未消除委员们对证据的分歧。因此，公布的分歧结果为反对党议员提供了可在议会程序中审查的材料。

帕里特上周表示，反对党计划在9月份提交不信任动议。预计阿努廷将面临长时间的质询。数字经济和社会部长柴查诺·奇乔布也是主要目标之一。

反对派将矛头指向参议院丑闻、考试丑闻和TH-AI项目，77名购房者面临最高法院的质询

一方面，反对派打算继续追查参议院选举事件引发的问题。持不同意见的委员已为此提供了详细的证据审查途径。然而，委员会的正式多数决定仍然是，相关政治人物不应受到诉讼。

另一方面，国会议员们正将矛头指向涉案金额高达45亿泰铢的地方政府考试丑闻。调查人员正在调查约2000名考生涉嫌操纵考试的案件。目前，已有3.2086亿泰铢的资产被查封或冻结。该事件也使一些与政府有关联的人士受到关注。

与此同时，反对派正在密切关注耗资16亿泰铢的泰国-人工智能护照计划。该计划已登记超过140万人。采购方面的问题引起了政界和政府的关注。其原计划耗资9亿泰铢的第二阶段也失去了资金支持。

阿努廷多次否认泰自豪党参与参议院选举中的不当行为。9月20日，他在离开泰国前往美国前再次驳斥了有关调查牵涉到他所在政党的说法。

从法律角度来看，选举委员会的多数派决定使阿努廷无需进入最高法院的诉讼程序。其余77名候选人则面临不同的程序。选举委员会必须在60天内做出决定并向最高法院提交请愿书。

如果法院接受请愿，参议员将面临停职处分；与此同时，克拉坦的谈判也给泰自豪党内部带来了压力。

一旦最高法院受理针对在任参议员的请愿，该参议员必须停止履行参议院职责。停职将持续到法院作出判决为止。因此，下一阶段的法律程序可能直接影响到26名在任参议员。

与此同时，特别调查部仍在继续调查这起事件的其他方面。其工作独立于选举委员会的程序。因此，9月14日的裁决并未终结与参议院遴选相关的所有调查途径。

在此背景下，与Kla Tham可能进行的内阁谈判更具意义。据报道，Kla Tham对农业部感兴趣，这引发了人们对现有部长名额分配的质疑。任何妥协也会影响到Bhumjaithai内部已有的代表。

朱拉隆功大学政治学系的萨提通·塔纳尼提乔特博士研究了这些内部压力。他与一位当地消息人士交谈时表示，有关克拉坦可能采取行动的迹象已经存在一段时间了。他将目前的讨论与即将到来的不信任投票联系起来。

关于部长职位，萨提通博士质疑克拉坦是否会获得农业部。他提出，一种可能的方案是设立一位部长和两位副部长。但这仅仅是他的个人评估，并非最终商定的分配方案。

泰自豪党各派系面临内阁改组，克拉坦寻求在新联盟中获得席位

在泰自豪党内部，多个重要的内阁职位集中在该党的核心派系“卢克帖”手中。其他派系尚未获得同等的部长级席位。因此，接纳新成员可能需要对现有职位进行更广泛的重新分配。

萨提通博士建议，部分“卢克帖”派部长可以在中期改组中卸任。他们的职务随后可以重新分配给其他泰自豪党派系和新加入的执政联盟成员。然而，目前尚未公开确认任何改组计划或修订后的配额。

为泰党在任何内阁谈判中都将拥有利益。该党目前拥有74名国会议员，并掌控五个部长职位。高等教育部长约查南·翁沙瓦表示，为泰党在执政联盟内仍然感到自在。“我们相处得很好，”他说。

政治消息人士还讨论了克拉探党与为泰党单独结盟的可能性。在这种情况下，克拉探党议员可能会转投为泰党，而不是独立执政。但目前尚未发生此类人员转移。同样，双方也未宣布达成此类协议。

克拉·塔姆将决定权交由高层会谈，反对派和选举委员会则朝着下一步正式行动迈进。

Kla Tham 本人并未就此问题作出最终表态。Atthakorn 表示，是否加入由泰自豪党领导的政府“取决于高层人士之间的会谈”。与此同时，交通部长 Pipat Ratchakitprakarn 已将有关 Kla Tham 的问题转给了 Anutin。
