Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s latest statement, widely seen as an appeal to the People's Party (PP) for political leniency, has drawn mixed reactions and intensified debate over the future of his minority government.

The statement came after senior PP figures signalled their readiness to file a no-confidence motion targeting the Bhumjaithai-led cabinet, arguing the government has failed to tackle systemic problems such as online scam networks and alleged collusion among state officials.

Former Democrat MP Thepthai Senpong said Mr Anutin’s eight-point statement can be interpreted in two parts.

The first four points reaffirm the government's commitments under the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signed with the PP, including the pledge to amend the constitution, hold a referendum, and dissolve the House within 120 days of forming the government.
