Klatham Party Denies Government Coalition Rumors
Klatham Party spokesperson Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn has dismissed reports of the party joining the current government coalition, stating that no such discussions have taken place.
On September 24, 2026, Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn, spokesperson for the Klatham Party, addressed media reports suggesting that the party might join the government coalition and secure a ministerial position in the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. Speaking at the Parliament, Atthakorn clarified that party leader Captain Thamanat Prompow, who recently returned from Japan, has not initiated any talks regarding a coalition partnership.
Atthakorn emphasized that only the party leader is authorized to conduct such negotiations and confirmed that no official signals have been received. He noted that he met with Captain Thamanat at the Parliament to discuss general matters, but the topic of joining the government was not raised. The spokesperson also addressed recent speculation regarding the party's status within the opposition, noting that internal discussions have been focused on administrative matters rather than a shift in political alignment.
For residents and observers, this clarification serves to stabilize expectations regarding the current political landscape. The party has scheduled a weekly meeting for September 29, 2026, where members may receive further updates on the party's direction. Whether the party will maintain its current opposition status or pursue a different path remains to be confirmed by official party announcements following that meeting.
