Mr Paradorn said it is still unclear whether the opposition will proceed with a no-confidence debate. Regardless, he believes all Cabinet ministers are ready to clarify any issues raised, reports the Bangkok Post.
“The prime minister has already made clear that the government is ready for parliamentary scrutiny in any form,” he said.
He confirmed that during a coalition meeting on Sunday, parties were reassured that the dissolution timeline - agreed upon the signing of a memorandum of agreement (MoA) with the People’s Party - remains intact, with the deadline still set for Jan 31, 2026.
On concerns about whether the minority government could survive if there is a vote after a no-confidence debate, Mr Paradorn replied: “The prime minister announced on day one that this is a minority government with only around 140 votes. If the House does not support us, we cannot win any major vote, including a no-confidence vote.”
He, however, stressed that the administration, which has been in office for only 47 days, has not faced any corruption or misconduct issues.
In response to opposition claims of “grey figures” linked to the government, Mr Paradorn said they are free to raise their concerns in parliament.
