Everyone’s attention is focused on General Prawit Wongsuwon, the leader of the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), who is reportedly planning to bring in ruling Pheu Thai Party Member of Parliament Police Captain Chalerm Ubumrung for the questioning of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra during the censure motion on Monday. These individuals are anticipated to present possibly incriminating accusations against the administration.
The Secretary-General of the PPRP, Paiboon Nititawan, stated that Gen Prawit will address the meeting following an opening speech by opposition leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut at the House of Representatives.
General Prawit plans to initiate an assault against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who stands as the only subject of criticism, addressing various matters such as the Alpine temple property dispute, the proposed casino-entertainment center development, and the MoU 44 territory disagreement with Cambodia.
The detention of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is being held in a comfortable section of the Police General Hospital instead of prison, is also anticipated to face scrutiny.
Thaksin, who is reportedly the real head of the Pheu Thai Party, is Miss Paetongtarn’s dad. Despite the detention being targeted at Thaksin, it essentially concerns the entire Shinawatra clan, according to Mr Paiboon.
However, the secretary-general of the PPRP was tight-lipped regarding the two additional accusations anticipated from General Prawit. “These will involve fresh matters pertaining to the prime minister. That’s all I can disclose for now,” he stated.
In the meantime, one source indicated that Pol Capt Chalerm, a renowned star debater who harbors a grudge against his own party, might have shared crucial details regarding Thaksin’s detainment before the confrontation.
Earlier, Gen Prawit met with Pol Capt Chalerm, who conveyed his enthusiasm about being part of the PPRP’s group of debaters, as per the source.
Nonetheless, Rangsiman Rome, the deputy leader of the opposition People’s Party (PP), stated on Saturday that the list of participants for the debate remains unconfirmed. He explained that it’s currently unclear whether Police Captain Chalerm meets the criteria to take part.
“Even if Colonel Pol Capt Chalerm requested to participate, senior members of PP would still need to be consulted beforehand,” Mr. Rangsiman said additionally.
Mr. Rangsiman stated that ‘There are no slots open for government MPs within the opposition.’
The debate for censure will take place on Monday and Tuesday, during which the opposition will have 28 hours to interrogate the prime minister, whereas the government and cabinet will be granted seven hours to address inquiries.
The disagreement between Pol Captain Chalerm and Thaksin began following an incident where both he and his son, ex-MP Wan Ubumrung, participated in a meeting hosted by a competing candidate in Pathum Thani shortly after local elections took place. Following this event, Mr. Wan stepped down from Pheu Thai and transferred his allegiance to the PPRP.
Police Captain Chalerm has warned of his intention to reveal confidential information regarding Thaksin and mentioned that he is contemplating running as an independent member of parliament.
Meanwhile, Ms Paetongtarn appeared relaxed during a dinner she hosted for coalition parties on Friday.
In her Instagram post at @INGSHIN21, Ms. Paetongtarn characterized the meeting as casual and mentioned that various party leaders joined her in sharing anecdotes about previous instances where they were criticized during parliamentary discussions.
‘It was enjoyable and truly a morale booster,’ she wrote.
Meanwhile, Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, said the coalition was ready to rally around the prime minister and prepare for any allegations that implicate them.
Even though the no-confidence motion was filed solely against Ms Paetongtarn, it is tantamount to a motion against the entire cabinet, said Mr Anutin who is also deputy prime minister and interior minister.
He added that he believed in Ms Paetongtarn’s competence, despite the pressure of this being her first censure debate.

The intriguing contrast showcased in the appropriately titled Clash de Cartier collection was launched in 2019. This line displays a robust, unyielding, rough aesthetic yet merges it seamlessly with the characteristic elegance and smoothness that enthusiasts of the brand appreciate.
