Coalition MP: Khla Tham Must Choose Their Own Side
A coalition MP says the opposition's no-confidence case against the government rests on evidence, not parliamentary numbers, while Khla Tham party must independently decide whether to join their efforts.
At 9:35 a.m. on September 23, 2025, at Parliament, Rungsiman Rom, a Phak Prachachar list MP and deputy party leader, discussed progress on the no-confidence debate, saying discussions with allied opposition parties are necessary regarding the naming of ministers and the submission of motions. Before submitting minister names, it must be clarified whether the debate will target the entire cabinet or individual ministers; if individual ministers, specific charges must be defined. Rom stated that while Phak Prachachar has prepared extensive data, this no-confidence debate covers multiple topics and some unexpected issues. Crucially, he emphasized that the opposition's arguments, particularly those of Phak Prachachar, are not empty rhetoric but grounded in verifiable evidence that can be used for prosecution. When asked whether the opposition would pursue cases with independent bodies if unable to topple the government in parliament, Rom replied that political scrutiny should not be judged solely by parliamentary votes, but rather by the government's legitimacy in explaining itself to the people. A government lacking public trust and acceptance cannot survive long, he argued. Rom also addressed the Khla Tham party situation, stating that their decision to join or leave the opposition is their own choice and separate from the evidence presented. He noted that the opposition's effectiveness rests on evidence, not on member numbers, and that evidence will be the opposition's greatest strength in performing this duty.
