The People's Party (PCP) indicated that the three main political parties agreed to complete the amendment of Chapter 3 of the Constitution within four months, confirming that they would use 15 votes in Parliament to direct the Anutin government to comply with the MOA.

September 16, 2568 at 15.45:XNUMX a.m. Mr. Natthaphong Rueangpanyawut, Member of Parliament for the party list and leader of the Prachachon Party Revealing the process of drafting a new constitution: The key now is to move forward in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), both the dissolution of parliament and the amendment of the constitution. Major political parties, such as the Bhumjaithai Party, Pheu Thai Party, and Prachachon Party, agreed that Section 15 could be amended within a four-month timeframe. Although the timeframe is tight, it can be completed in time with effective management.

Mr. Natthaphong stated that the meeting of party MPs will discuss and set a clear timeframe. For example, the draft constitutional amendment, first reading, should be submitted to Parliament within this week and considered and completed by the end of the year to meet the target. He emphasized that the Prachachon Party will use its 1 parliamentary votes to scrutinize the government of Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul if it is found to be failing to comply with the MoA or to be stalling.

"We still insist that we will use our 143 votes in Parliament to direct the Anutin government to adhere to the MOA we agreed upon. The current trend remains positive, but whenever we see signs of reneging or delaying, we are ready to use all our votes to immediately scrutinize the government," said Mr. Natthaphong.

Regarding persuading the Senate to approve the constitutional amendment, Mr. Natthaphong stated that, in principle, senators have their own prerogatives. However, politically, he believes the public can discern who can coordinate with them. He believes all parties agree that constitutional amendment is definitely possible. Over the past two years, the process has been slow under the Pheu Thai government. However, what has already happened and is having positive results has opened the door for constitutional amendment, and the direction is positive.

Regarding the party's stance on amending Section 112 of the Criminal Code, Mr. Natthaphong insisted that the party would remain committed to its principles, but would have to comply with the Constitutional Court's ruling. He acknowledged the potential for political risks, but believed there was still a way out, and that the people's voices would depend on the next election.
