Chulphand Reiterates Position on Constitutional Reform: For Thai Party Must Stay Grounded, Address Cost of Living First
For Thai party leader Chulphand Amornwiwat says constitutional reform must proceed cautiously while prioritizing cost-of-living relief, requiring all parties to reach consensus on amendments.
Chulphand Amornwiwat, Labor Minister and For Thai party leader, held a party meeting at Parliament on May 14 at 9:45 AM to discuss the party's position on continuing constitutional reform efforts. He confirmed the party's commitment to pushing forward with reform based on the earlier public referendum, but emphasized the need to heed majority voices. Since constitutional amendments require a one-third Senate majority, all parties must reach consensus on a mutually acceptable draft. Chulphand acknowledged remaining obstacles to reform. "We need to discuss and present a draft that all sides can accept and genuinely support," he stated. "Our party must be realistic—we must acknowledge that at this moment, addressing citizens' cost of living concerns is the top priority."
