Thammanat Threatens Retaliation Against Anyone Pressuring Kla Tham Party

At 4:30 PM on February 19, 2024, at the Kla Tham Party (KT) headquarters, Rear Admiral Thammanat Prompao, party advisory chairman, gave an interview addressing rumors about his potential ministerial role. He stated he is ready for any qualification checks and remains confident about his past nominations as Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives since 2562 (2019). When questioned about political pressure, Thammanat boldly stated that Kla Tham Party is not afraid of being squeezed and is prepared to push back against any attempts to marginalize them. He emphasized that political negotiations are complex and refused to simplify the potential government formation process. Regarding his relationship with Bhumjaithai Party, he cryptically commented that 'when people love each other, even vegetable soup tastes sweet', suggesting ongoing diplomatic relations despite apparent tensions.
