Suwit departs but his Puea Pandin Party stays: Mun

Information and Communications Technology Minister Mun Patanotai said on Wednesday that 20 of 24 MPs from Puea Pandin Party decided to remain in the coalition alliance even though party leader Suwit Khunkitti pulled out.

For portfolios under its quotas, the party will nominate a successor to Deputy Finance Minister Ranongrak Suwanchawee who resigned, Mun said.

Suwit's position as industry minister might be switched to one of the coalition parties, he said.

Deputy Interior Minister Sithichai Kowsurat will be replaced by a newcomer nominated by Puea Pandin, he said.
