On 8 March 2026, during the Bhumjaithai parliamentary seminar with 192 MPs, the party's executive committee presented a list of suitable ministerial candidates to Anutin Charnvirakul, party leader. The list included more names than available ministerial seats to allow the leader to select and submit to the Secretariat of the Cabinet for verification by nine agencies.
Currently, Bhumjaithai is expected to fill 26 ministerial positions, subject to further consideration, overseeing 14 ministries: Interior, Defense, Transport, Natural Resources and Environment, Digital Economy and Society, Tourism and Sports, Industry, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Commerce, Energy, Justice, Culture, and Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office.
Anutin's quota includes five positions: himself as Minister of Interior; Sihasak Puangketkaew, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs; Akeniti Nitithanprapas, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance; Supachai Sutthumpan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce; and Bowornsak Uwanno, Deputy Prime Minister.

Regarding coalition party quotas, Pheu Thai will have 8 members in 9 positions. Pheu Thai submitted more candidates than allotted ministerial seats, and Bhumjaithai authorized them to select suitable candidates withoutstipulating criteriasuch as being new or veteran members, but selections mustcomply withthe Constitutional Court's rulings.
These include a deputy prime minister also serving as Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, three deputy ministers, and the Second Deputy Speaker position remains undecided.
Palang Pracharath will secure one ministerial seat held by Trinuch Thianthong, whilesmall parties with 1-2 seatswill not receive ministerial positions, as Bhumjaithai does not seek to consolidate votes or form side coalitions. The Defense Ministry will be decided last, awaiting final developments.

This cabinet formation aligns with party strategy to appoint suitable personnel to ministries ensuring coordinated operations reporting directly to the prime minister, avoiding the fragmented governance seen in past administrations.
