The Kla Tham Party has secured two hours for a no-confidence debate aimed at individual ministers. On October 30, 2026, MP Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn of Chachoengsao and Kla Tham Party spokesperson gave an interview regarding the party's request to join the no-confidence debate against ministers on an individual basis, securing a two-hour time quota. Atthakorn stated this was a resolution from the party's first meeting, and although some later disagreed, he did not object; the party is simply exercising its rights. He added they cannot be forced to debate according to other parties' intentions and will proceed according to Kla Tham's own approach.
Asked whether specific targets or ministries had been locked in, Atthakorn said it depends on the MPs who will speak and their assessment of the 18 ministers' performance, adding the party does not dictate how much each member must debate. Regarding potential friction with the Bhumjaithai Party amid rumors Kla Tham would join the government, Atthakorn said the party has not yet joined the government but emphasized they hold 12% of House seats and therefore believe they have the right to express opinions on various agendas.
On the Sa Kaeo District 3 by-election to replace the late former Kla Tham MP Surasak Chingnawon, Atthakorn said the party is still considering candidates and will travel to Sa Kaeo on November 2 to discuss, coinciding with a royal bathing ceremony hosted by the party. He noted preliminary talks have been held with the Chingnawon family, who remain confident in Surasak's track record and believe it can be carried forward, though detailed discussions have not yet taken place as the family is still in mourning.
