Anuthit Reassures Coalition With Julpan
Prime Minister Anuthit and Pheu Thai leader Julpan publicly reassured coalition stability on August 5, dismissing speculation about realigning with other political parties through lighthearted remarks and a display of unity.
On August 5, 2026, at 11:55 a.m. at Government House, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anuthit Charnweerakul, in his capacity as Bhumjaithai party leader, addressed reports about the alignment of the green and red parties. Anuthit said he had not yet seen the news because he arrived home late. When asked if there was a new color mix emerging among red, green, and orange parties, the prime minister joked, "Red and green with clear ice and condensed milk sprinkled on top like this," while giving a thumbs-up gesture. When asked if he had discussed this with Pheu Thai, Anuthit pointed to Labor Minister Julpan Amornvivat, Pheu Thai party leader, standing behind him. A reporter asked whether the blue-and-red coalition still works well together without needing other colors added. Julpan replied that things are working smoothly and well-coordinated. Before walking up to Thai Khu Fah building, Anuthit gave Julpan a warm hug for the cameras.
