Thanakorn criticized Natthapong after the latter claimed credit for pushing Anutin to become prime minister, mocking the opposition's debates as mere speculation using patchwork media information.
On 2 September 2026, Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, party-list MP for Bhumjaithai Party, commented on Natthapong Ruangpanyawut, party-list MP and leader of the Prachachon Party, who suggested that since he helped Anutin Charnvirakul become prime minister, he could also cause his removal. Thanakorn said that if the Prachachon Party refers to the first term, they should not forget that it was the Prachachon Party itself that called for parliament dissolution, which the prime minister complied with, so there is no owed debt.
Thanakorn continued that Anutin's return as prime minister stems from the decision of the Thai people through the 8 February election, which made his party the top-ranked party. Importantly, in this government formation, not a single Prachachon MP supported him. Claiming political favors is therefore inaccurate, as the prime minister has always emphasized he is not anyone's political heir. The only one he owes is the Thai people. He urged the opposition to stop daily discrediting rhetoric and to perform their oversight role reasonably through parliamentary mechanisms, rather than acting out of spite and neglecting their duties.
Regarding the Prachachon Party leader's threat to remove the prime minister, Thanakorn sarcastically said he does not know where that confidence comes from, since constitutionally the Prachachon Party cannot muster a majority of MPs. If they plan to file complaints with the National Anti-Corruption Commission based on no-confidence debate data, they should first reflect on whether their evidence is substantial or merely baseless speculation patched together from media reports as before.
