Deputy PM Yotchanan Denies Cabinet Reshuffle Rumors
Deputy Prime Minister Yotchanan Wongsawasdi has dismissed speculation regarding a cabinet reshuffle, emphasizing the government's focus on unified performance.
On October 21, 2026, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, Yotchanan Wongsawasdi, addressed media reports concerning potential political shifts. Speaking at Government House, Yotchanan stated that there are currently no indications of a cabinet reshuffle or changes to ministerial portfolios.
Addressing rumors about a potential merger between the Kla Tham Party and the Bhumjaithai Party, Yotchanan suggested that such speculation might be intended to pressure the Pheu Thai Party regarding upcoming no-confidence debates.
