Where Did Pheu Thai Go Wrong? MP Thana Questions Critics, Insists Party Fulfilled All MOU Terms
A Pheu Thai MP defended his party against criticism by claiming it fulfilled all terms of its 2023 agreement with the People's Party regarding PM selection, challenging detractors to prove otherwise.
MP Thana Kijpaiboolchai of Sisaket, representing the Pheu Thai Party, posted on his personal Facebook on May 27, 2025, recalling the memorandum of understanding between the People's Party and Pheu Thai Party regarding the Prime Minister selection made on September 3, 2023, when the People's Party voted for Anutin Charnvirakul as Prime Minister. He outlined the three conditions: 1) dissolving parliament within four months (December 12, 2023), 2) holding a referendum to draft a new constitution (February 8, 2024), and 3) appointing Anutin's cabinet without the People's Party joining the government (September 19, 2023). Recalling the MOU terms, Thana challenged critics to identify where Pheu Thai violated the agreement, asserting that the party fulfilled all conditions completely.
