Opposition Allies to Discuss Timing for Government Vote of No Confidence

Key summary

Saathit Wong Nong Toey, Deputy Leader of the Democrat Party and a nominated MP, stated that opposition allies will meet this Wednesday afternoon at approximately 1:00 PM to finalize the schedule for a general debate under Article 151 of the 2060 Constitution. The debate is set to last four days, totaling approximately 48 to 50 hours, rather than the originally requested five days or 60 hours. While the opposition maintains it will not withdraw its motion to vote no confidence against all 18 ministers, Saathit noted that reducing the total time impacts their ability to present prepared data for specific ministers. The opposition confirmed they are open to holding sessions on weekends if necessary and can adjust schedules around ministerial availability. A separate issue regarding the participation of Palang Pracharath (Party of Courage), which did not sign the original motion, remains under discussion to determine how its allotted time would be sourced within the parliamentary rules.
