Bangkok: Praphat Pothasuthan, Secretary-General of the Chartthaipattana Party, attended a crucial discussion at the Prachachon Party headquarters, representing Warawut Silpa-archa, the party leader, to garner support from the public. Chaikasem, a prominent figure, indicated a positive outcome when questioned by the media, as full attendance from the coalition parties was observed, except for Ekanat Promphan, who had a prior medical appointment.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Praphat arrived at the meeting at 2:45 PM and faced inquiries from reporters about Mr. Warawut's absence. He explained that Warawut was engaged in another meeting but expressed a desire to be updated on the proceedings. Mr. Praphat mentioned his delayed arrival was due to traveling a significant distance.
During the session, when asked about the implications of the coalition parties' complete attendance, Mr. Praphat nodded affirmatively, indicating optimism. He emphasized the importance of the meeting and proceeded to join discussions with leaders from the Pheu Thai Party, coalition parties, and the People's Party.
Reporters also highlighted that the only notable absence from the negotiations was the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party's core leaders, as their secretary-general, Ekkunat Promphan, was unable to attend due to a previously scheduled appointment with his doctor.
