As of the afternoon, there is still no sign of Thammanat entering the Ministry of Agriculture. The latest reports say he has taken another day off. Meanwhile, Amin revealed that he communicated via LINE with "Captain" to offer mutual encouragement, emphasizing that Kla Tham party MPs are ready to work from wherever they are, firmly stating there are no "green snakes" involved in the party.
At 14:10 on 26 February 2026 GMT+7. Mr. Amin Mayuso, Member of Parliament for Narathiwat District 2 from the Kla Tham party, serving as Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, arrived at the Ministry of Agriculture and revealed that he has no additional information and has not received any reports that Lieutenant Colonel Thammanat Prompao, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, serving as the advisory chairman of the Kla Tham party, would be traveling to the Ministry of Agriculture or not.
When asked whether he had spoken with Lt. Col. Thammanat since his return from Finland, Mr. Amin said, "We have communicated via LINE; we encourage each other but have no further information. Today, Lt. Col. Thammanat assigned me to carry out work as usual, and I told him that my fellow MPs and I are ready to work from wherever we are."
Asked if it is now certain that the Kla Tham party will become the opposition, Mr. Amin replied that he has no clear information yet and prefers to let the senior leaders discuss it. Regarding rumors of green snake MP buyouts, Mr. Amin stated, "There is none of that; only 'football snakes' (python snakes)." , When asked if all 58 Kla Tham MPs will stay united, Mr. Amin answered confidently, "Yes, because it has been quite a struggle to get here, and I believe Lt. Col. Thammanat takes good care of the MPs." When asked if he has sounded out opinions within the group, Mr. Amin said they have been in discussion.
However, reporters noted that as of 14:10, there was still no movement from Lt. Col. Thammanat, and later at 16:50, it was reported that he had taken another day off today.
