Bangkok: Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn, leader of the Rak Chart Party, has expressed confidence in the stability of Anutin Charnvirakul's government, which has secured a 300-seat majority. He emphasized the importance of fulfilling the government's promises to address the needs of the people, particularly the policy aimed at balancing wealth inequality.
According to Thai News Agency, the Bhumjaithai Party has successfully negotiated an agreement with coalition partners, securing approximately 300 votes. Chaiwut remarked that the formation of the coalition government was anticipated but cautioned against potential opposition from the Prachachon Party, Kla Tham Party, and the Democrat Party, which may collaborate to challenge the government. He urged Anutin, referred to as "Brother Nu," to deliver on his promises of enriching the populace and questioned if these were merely propaganda.
Chaiwut noted that the government formation under the Bhumjaithai Party appears "finalized" with strong support, yet acknowledged the presence of formidable opposition. He stated that the robust opposition could enhance governmental scrutiny, benefiting the House of Representatives by providing balanced power dynamics and thorough examination of government actions.
Moreover, Chaiwut highlighted the urgency of implementing the Bhumjaithai Party's economic policies, which aim to improve the livelihoods of citizens. He criticized the concentration of wealth and questioned the feasibility of the government's promises to significantly increase the wealth of the people, suggesting that these promises should address both macroeconomic and microeconomic challenges.
Chaiwut concluded by urging the Prime Minister to swiftly enact the policies promised during the election campaign, stressing the importance of addressing the cost of living and economic issues. He emphasized that the government's actions must align with the expectations and needs of the people, fulfilling the commitments made by Anutin during the campaign period.
