Deputy Minister of Digital Economy Confident in Government Stability, Ready to Respond to All Opposition No-Confidence Queries

Nan Boontida said she is unfazed by the opposition's no-confidence debate, confident in her ability to respond to all questions, and assured of the government's stability. She challenged the opposition on the Senate vote-rigging issue, asking if it is appropriate to raise it without any concrete evidence linking it to the government.


On 8 Aug 2026 GMT+7, Nan Boontida Somchai, Deputy Minister of Digital Economy and Society and spokesperson for Bhumjaithai Party, spoke about the upcoming parliamentary session at the end of August. She said the government expects to review the loan bill and anticipates the opposition will submit a no-confidence debate. The government is preparing to consider multiple bills, including those related to the digital economy, AI, and data centers, to drive the country's progress. Coalition MPs are ready to work fully. When asked about preparations for the no-confidence debate, she said it depends on when the opposition submits it, expecting they will do so this term, but she is confident and not overly rehearsing because she can clarify all points. Regarding a potential no-confidence debate on the Senate vote-rigging issue, she said it depends on how the issue relates to the government, noting past accusations lacked evidence. She questioned whether the opposition should raise the matter without clear proof. Government MPs will assess if the issue fits the debate agenda. Nevertheless, she said there is no concern as they are confident in answering all questions and in the current government's stability.
