Kla Tham party MPs submitted an open letter to Prime Minister Anutin urging a prompt resolution of the assassination attempt on Kamolsak Liwamo. They stressed that the unrest is not just a security issue but a test of the state's sincerity, and put forward four proposals.
On 17 April 2026, Narathiwat MPs from the Kla Tham party—Somsap Mayuso, Amin Mayuso, and Lutfi Hayiet—along with Yunaidee Waba, an MP from Pattani, welcomed Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul during his visit to Narathiwat province to monitor the situation and advance solutions in the southern border provinces.
The Kla Tham MPs presented an open letter to the prime minister through the media to promptly convey the people's demands to the government without delay. The letter mainly calls for expediting the investigation into the assassination attempt on Kamolsak Liwamo, Narathiwat MP from the Prachachart Party, and for bringing the perpetrators and masterminds to justice as soon as possible.
“We take this opportunity to affirm our stance that the prolonged unrest in the southern border provinces is not merely a security problem but a political test of the state's sincerity—whether it will stand for justice or allow ambiguity to persist,” they stated.
They proposed demands aimed at restoring peace to the southern border region as follows:
1. The prime minister should set a clear timeline to resolve the assassination case of MP Kamolsak Liwamo, ensuring swift prosecution of perpetrators and masterminds, because delayed justice is a form of injustice.
2. Truth must be revealed, not managed. An independent committee with full authority should be established to investigate all cases of public concern, especially those involving security and human rights, free from political interference. This committee should include representatives from all sectors.
3. Violence must end through politics, not force. The government should declare a genuine political will with a policy of politics leading the military, reducing the role of armed forces and truly opening political space for the people.
4. Public trust is the dividing line between peace and conflict. The government must set clear goals to restore public confidence and define measurable indicators to report to the public. Peace will not arise from state proclamations but from the people's genuine sense of receiving true justice.
