Mr Borwornsak, in charge of the government's legal affairs, reaffirmed that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's previously stated timeline, calling for a House dissolution by January 2026, still stands.

Mr Borwornsak’s comments came amid renewed scrutiny of the government’s roadmap to amend the constitution and hold a referendum on rewriting the constitution, together with a new general election.

He dismissed speculation that current political tensions could derail the timeline, reiterating that “everything remains on schedule”.

Meanwhile, Parit Wacharasindhu, a list-MP and deputy spokesman for the opposition People’s Party (PP), said the enactment of the 2025 Referendum Act ensures the process can move forward smoothly.
