Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has confirmed she is considering a cabinet reshuffle but emphasised that any changes would be discussed with coalition partners.

Her remarks came amid mounting speculation the Bhumjaithai Party, a key coalition member, is pushing for a major revision of ministerial portfolios.

Responding to the reports of a looming cabinet shake-up yesterday, Ms Paetongtarn insisted no formal discussions have taken place and said that she was still assessing the situation.

“It’s still not time to discuss the details as it’s just a consideration for now. I’m only thinking about what adjustments could be made to improve the cabinet,” she said.

“There is thought being given to a cabinet reshuffle, but nothing is final. It's not 100% yet.”
