Thammanat calm amid coalition storm
Bangkok Post
|July 13, 2025
»Capt Thammanat Prompao, chief adviser to the Klatham Party, says he is confident the coalition government will carry on despite its slim majority, while declaring the party’s goal of winning at least 70 seats in the next election.
Speaking yesterday, Capt Thammanat drew a comparison to the Prayut Chan-o-cha administration, which also operated with a narrow margin, adding he had successfully managed MPs’ votes during that time.
If the coalition partners could stay unified and continue to hold open discussions about their numbers, the government could survive any quorum challenges that crop up, he said.
“Since entering politics since 1998, when I was with the Thai Rak Thai Party, I've witnessed a great deal,” he said.
