|June 07, 2025
The main opposition People's Party (PP) said it will petition the Constitutional Court seeking the removal of Deputy House Speaker Pichet Chua-muangphan for allegedly misusing parliamentary funds.
The move, announced by the party's Bangkok MP Bhuntin Noumjerm, followed a recent House debate on the 2026 fiscal budget bill, during which Mr Pichet, a Pheu Thai MP for Chiang Rai province, was accused of initiating budget proposals that may involve irregularities.
According to Mr Bhuntin, during the budgeting process for the 2025 fiscal year, Mr Pichet reportedly instructed his team to draft four parliamentary affairs project proposals worth 443 million baht for the Secretariat of the House of Representatives to seek funding for.
