Anutin emphasized there are no signs of a cabinet reshuffle. He praised the 'Godchildren Ministers' for working in an organized manner and coordinating with permanent officials to relieve workload. He denied any secret agreement with the Kla Tham Party after they voted to support the 2570 budget.
At 13:35 on 13 September 2026, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Chanvirakul commented on the political situation following the vote on the 2570 annual budget bill, which received support from some opposition parties. He said politics is always dynamic, and if the government proposes something beneficial for the public, even some opposition parties will agree. With over 290 government MPs, if they do good work, the people's representatives will support it, indicating the government is on the right track and gaining more support than expected. This shows the government's proposals are beneficial, as even opposition MPs from the Kla Tham Party see that implementing the budget bill will greatly benefit the public and the common good. Their support is encouraging and assures that the government has presented something truly beneficial. The implementation will proceed confidently, and officials can be assured that funds will be quickly used for the people's benefit.
Asked whether there was a secret agreement for future coalition government cooperation, he said no discussions have occurred on this matter. However, their stance prioritizes the nation and the common good, which fosters cooperation.
Regarding any signals of a cabinet reshuffle after the 2570 budget bill passed, Anutin said there are none at this time. The government is fully performing its duties. Many ministers are settling into their roles, gaining confidence in their missions. All ministers, whether from coalition partners or leading parties, are working fully, communicating with the public on any concerns or questions, and providing explanations and answers on all issues.
When asked whether the 'Godchildren Ministers' are aligned with his wishes, the Prime Minister said there are no such ministers by that name—he does not know who coined it. All ministers were personally selected by him with the understanding that everyone has responsibilities and performance indicators. If they continue to work effectively and benefit the public, they will remain ministers.
When pressed on whether the work of the 'Godchildren Ministers' is impressive, Anutin said all are diligent and increasingly understand the bureaucracy. They seek cooperation with permanent officials in carrying out their duties. It is now clear that each is confidently driving their own work, receiving support as a team with all parties, and significantly easing their own burdens.
