PM Anutin Walks Out After Questions on Chaiyaphum MP's Husband
Prime Minister Anutin Chanwirakule walked out of a press conference after being questioned about allegations linking the husband of a Bhumjaithai MP from Chaiyaphum to a scam network. He had earlier dismissed opposition requests for him to explain flood relief efforts in parliament, insisting the focus should be on disaster response. The incident highlights rising political tensions as opposition MPs press for accountability over both flood management and alleged financial misconduct.
At 10:00 AM on October 2, 2026, at the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Prime Minister Anutin Chanwirakule, also serving as Interior Minister and leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, gave an interview regarding flood relief efforts after opposition leader Natapong Ruangpanyawut urged him to explain the situation in parliament. He responded that the focus should be on working to clear the area and protect people from the disaster, not on political questioning. When pressed about opposition MP Rangsiman Rom's claims that the husband of a female Bhumjaithai MP from Chaiyaphum possesses substantial assets but has no clear occupation and may be linked to a scam network, prompting a rebuttal from Bhumjaithai MP Suchada Sangthansap, the PM merely smiled, nodded, and walked out of the press conference.
