Monnaporn Puzzled by Rumors of Deputy Speaker Position Says Process Not Yet Reached That Stage

"Monnaporn" is puzzled by rumors of holding the deputy speaker position, stating the process has not reached that stage and affirming she is ready to carry out all duties as a Member of Parliament.


On 3 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Ms. Monnaporn Charoensri, incoming MP from Nakhon Phanom for the Pheu Thai Party, said she was confused about rumors that she would become the second deputy speaker. She said the party has not discussed anything and she does not know where the news came from. The process of reporting to the parliament is not complete, and the party has not convened any meetings. She herself has not yet reported and is scheduled to do so on 4 Mar 2026 GMT+7. The procedural steps have not been discussed because the Bhumjaithai Party, which leads the government formation, must first confirm which parties are in the coalition and officially announce the government. Only then will it be considered which party will get which positions. So far, they only know from media reports which parties might join hands, so they must wait for these steps to be completed.

When asked if she would be ready to serve if contacted by the party, Ms. Monnaporn said she can perform any duty since she is a Member of Parliament. She must carry out the assignments given by the party, regardless of the position. Importantly, the public trusts and has elected her for another term, so she will do her best in every duty assigned. She will devote herself fully to any position. However, the first step must be completed first. The second step will be handled by the party's executive committee, which will decide who is suitable for which position. She stressed that she can work in any role, wherever she is, and will perform it to the best of her ability.
