Nattapong withholds the names of ministers to be impeached, confident the opposition has enough information to debate in October, and opens channels to receive in-depth information from the public, aiming to uproot the "Blue Regime." "Blue Regime" refers to the political faction associated with the Blue Party.
On 25 Sep 2026 GMT+7, at the National Anti-Corruption Commission office, Mr. Nattapong Ruangpanyawut, leader of the PCHN party, spoke about readiness for the no-confidence debate. He said talks with opposition coalition parties have progressed well and are in the final stages of finalizing the motion framework. They are consolidating all parties' topics for debate. Once the motion framework is finalized, the signing phase will follow. Looking at the timeline, the no-confidence debate is expected to commence in Parliament in October.
When asked about gathering information from the public and whether the party has enough data for the debate, Mr. Nattapong said the information they currently hold is sufficiently substantial. However, PCHN has opened channels to receive more detailed insights from those directly affected. This debate aims to highlight the negative aspects of the "Blue Regime," which refers not only to the party itself but also to the role of independent organizations linked to financial groups supporting the Blue Regime. In the debate framework, many affected parties will be involved, such as companies potentially bidding on state projects where there appear to be rigged specifications favoring certain companies. Rival companies are also expected to provide information to them. Other issues in the bureaucracy, such as favoritism toward the Blue Regime, appointments and transfers of officials, and local examination corruption, will also be addressed.

When asked if, besides Anutin Charnvirakul, the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and Minister of Digital Economy Chaiyanon Chidchob, who are already focal points in the debate, there will be others, Mr. Nattapong said the ministers to be impeached will be revealed together on the day the motion is submitted. He emphasized the intention to expose the harmfulness of the "Blue Regime," which goes beyond the party itself to other related areas. When asked if he was concerned about criticism for calling it the "Blue Regime" when PCHN itself voted for and helped establish this regime, Mr. Nattapong acknowledged past voting and accepted critiques. He said a bigger problem is drafting a new constitution. If they can push for action against the Election Commission or proceed against senators involved in election fraud, and also hold politicians accountable, then they can begin fixing these issues.

When asked how they will investigate the Khao Kradong issue, Mr. Nattapong replied it is one of the issues they are monitoring, but they are waiting for the actual debate day because sharing information now would be like giving the government advance notice. When asked if the no-confidence debate will include the Khao Kradong issue, he said to wait for the debate day. Regarding concerns that PCHN might be reluctant to raise the Khao Kradong issue because it implicates the party's spiritual leader, Mr. Nattapong affirmed their readiness to perform their duties transparently. He said the previous question likely was not significant; the challenge in no-confidence debates is that delving too deep risks giving the government advance warning.
