Nattaphon gives security assurances
Bangkok Post
|July 03, 2025
Deputy Defence Minister Gen Nattaphon Narkphanit tried to assure the public yesterday that there will be no power vacuum and national security work will continue as usual despite the defence minister post being left vacant.
Gen Nattaphon said he is authorised to serve as acting defence minister under the law governing the Defence Ministry and insisted national security operations in all areas will proceed without disruption.
The defence minister's post, left vacant in the latest cabinet reshuffle, has sparked speculation it is being reserved for Gen Chalermpol Srisawat, a former senator and chief of the defence forces.
By law, Gen Chalermpol, like all former senators, cannot hold public office for at least two years after vacating his Senate seat. This period ends on Sept 30.
