The Prime Minister did not respond when asked if he felt pressured after the People's Party nominated a candidate to compete for the House Speaker position, while Yossanan and MPs from all parties gradually arrived at the parliament.
On 15 March 2026 GMT+7 at the parliament building, reporters covered the atmosphere before the 27th House of Representatives' first meeting (the first ordinary session of the year). The agenda included voting for the Speaker and Deputy Speakers of the House. At 08:58, Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, a party-list MP from Bhumjaithai Party and party leader, arrived at the parliament building.
