Kla Tham Party spokesperson Athakorn Sirilatthayakorn said the party has not yet decided how to vote in the no-confidence motion against 18 ministers and will hold internal talks first. He denied any political deal with the Bhumjaithai Party and stated he has not consulted with other party leaders. The party must reach a decision before the final voting day.
At 5:10 p.m. on October 21, 2026, at Parliament, Chachoengsao MP Athakorn Sirilatthayakorn, also the Kla Tham Party spokesperson, addressed the party's stance on the no-confidence vote targeting 18 ministers. He said the party will use its rights as appropriate but stressed that no internal meeting has taken place yet. When asked about speculation that Kla Tham might align with Bhumjaithai after the debate, Athakorn declined to answer.
