UTN future at risk as MPs mull Suchart's new party
Bangkok Post
|June 03, 2025
The future of the United Thai Nation Party (UTN) appears increasingly uncertain as about 20 of its MPs are reportedly preparing to defect to the newly formed New Opportunity Party (NP) led by Deputy Commerce Minister Suchart Chomklin.
Speaking on the Inside Thailand TV programme, Mr Suchart said that around 20 MPs were contemplating the move.
"If they think that [joining] another party will give them more freedom of expression, or find the other party to be better aligned with their political ideals, I think it is reasonable for them to make the switch," he said.
He hinted that more UTN MPs are considering the move, though many are still undecided due to concerns about maintaining their political roles.
