PM Anutin Ready for No-Confidence Debate, Cites Government Achievements
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said he is prepared for an upcoming no-confidence debate and will defend the government using concrete achievements and facts rather than relying on its parliamentary majority. He emphasized that public trust must be earned through performance, not vote counts, and that the government must continue demonstrating active problem-solving and policy delivery.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul affirmed his readiness to face a no-confidence debate, stressing that the government will answer opposition charges with evidence, facts, completed actions, and its performance record — not by counting on parliamentary votes. "We must ensure we can explain to opposition MPs; whether they understand is their role, but we must explain with data, facts, and what we have delivered as achievements," Anutin said during his "Talk with PM Anutin" broadcast on November 14. Asked whether his confidence stemmed from the government's parliamentary majority, he replied that votes should not be the first consideration: the government must resolve public doubts with results, not ballot numbers. "If we only think of votes, we fail. My government and I use achievements to answer the people's questions. Even if we win the vote, a haze of public suspicion remains, and that is the last thing this government can accept. This is their government, working for them every second, every breath." Anutin added that the administration must show it has not stopped working — solving problems, advancing policies, seeking opportunities, and boosting national income. He also noted his upcoming attendance at ASEAN and APEC meetings from November 14–19, saying he is equally prepared to report to the public on what has been done and what lies ahead, just as he is for the no-confidence debate.
