Chaiwat, leader of the Rakchat Party, is confident Anutin's government with 300 seats is stable. He urges not to forget the promise 'rich to the point of no endurance' and warns the government’s work won’t be easy because it faces a strong opposition.
At 14:00 on 21 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Chaiwat Thanakmanusorn, leader of the Rakchat Party (RK), spoke about rumors on the government formation. The Bhumjaithai Party (BJT) has successfully agreed with coalition partners, gathering about 300 seats. He said forming a 300-seat coalition is not unexpected but cautioned about facing three main pillars of a tough opposition: the Prachachon Party (PCN), Kla Tham Party (KT), and Democrat Party (DP), who will team up to challenge. It is time to test if their promise to make people 'rich to the point of no endurance' is just propaganda or real policy.
Chaiwat stated that the government formation led by Bhumjaithai Party (BJT) appears to be a 'done deal' with overwhelming support of over 300 seats. Although the government holds a majority in parliament, the path ahead is not smooth as it must face the 'strongest opposition in many years,' led by Prachachon, Kla Tham, and Democrat parties.
Chaiwat said having these three main opposition parties will help ensure effective government oversight, benefiting parliament’s work by providing sufficient checks and balances and enabling full scrutiny of the government.
Chaiwat also addressed Bhumjaithai Party’s economic policies, urging swift action on livelihood issues as people have long awaited hope. The policies promised during elections must start immediately. He stressed the need to address wealth concentration and questioned whether the rhetoric that people will become 'rich to the point of no endurance' can truly solve both macro and microeconomic problems.
Chaiwat added that the newly formed government carries high public expectations, especially from the election period. Any policy that 'Pee Nu Anutin' campaigned on should be rapidly implemented to solve people’s problems. Particularly, the promise that people will become definitely wealthier—'rich to the point of no endurance'—should be fulfilled soon. Currently, livelihood and economic issues are major concerns, and the public awaits hope from the government’s work. The prime minister must meet the people’s needs and answer their demands.
