Phumtham Refuses to Back Down! Will Pursue Legal Action Against Fake News Makers Spreading Defense Ministry Claims

On February 18, 2024, Phumtham Wechayachai, a leader of Pheu Thai Party, posted on Facebook that recent rumors are fake news. Since receiving contact from Bhumjai Thai Party about forming a government, they have not discussed ministerial positions or ministry divisions. This is because the election results have not been officially confirmed, and the process of forming a coalition government is still ongoing. The party has not yet determined the number of coalition parties or parliamentary support. Phumtham strongly condemned the false claims circulating that he promised to 'handle things thoroughly' if given control of the Defense Ministry. He warned that those spreading such misinformation will be pursued to the fullest extent of the law and urged the public not to share these false messages.
