Anutin reshuffles the government's spokesperson team by transferring Ratchada to assist the Deputy Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office and proposes Dr. Ek - Dr. Ekaphop Pianpiset as the new government spokesperson.
On 1 September 2026, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Chanvirakul explained about the rumors of changing the spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, saying it was simply a reassignment of duties as appropriate. Since there is an important mission regarding women's issues in the three southern border provinces, which Ms. Ratchada Thanadirek, the current spokesperson, has been working on for some time, it was deemed suitable for her to take the position of Assistant Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office to assist him in overseeing women's affairs in the southern region specifically.
As for the new spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, it is expected to be Dr. Ekaphop Pianpiset, known as Dr. Ek, who has political knowledge and experience and has previously served as a Member of Parliament. His name is planned to be submitted to the Cabinet meeting for approval next week.
When reporters asked about the issue that the new government spokesperson was formerly affiliated with the Move Forward Party, the Prime Minister immediately denied this and confirmed, "He is with the Bhumjaithai Party and has been a member for a long time."
