The three-party whips have finalized the no-confidence debate against the government led by Anutin for 7-11 December 2026, starting from 08:00 to 03:00. The opposition will have 51 hours, the government 17 hours. 'Ice Cream' signaled to the Cabinet that an earlier schedule would be preferable if possible.
On 28 October 2026 at 13:20 at the Parliament, a meeting of the three-party whips was held chaired by Ms. Mallika Jirapanwanit, First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, to set the framework for the no-confidence debate and individual ministerial votes per Section 151 of the Constitution. Attendees included Mr. Pradon Prisananantakul, Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office representing the Cabinet; Mr. Kravee Prisananantakul, MP for Ang Thong from the Bhumjaithai Party, chairman of the government whip; Mr. Parit Wacharasindhu, party-list MP from the Progressive Movement, opposition whip; Mr. Rangsiman Rome, party-list MP from the Progressive Movement; and Mr. Attakorn Sirilattayakorn, MP for Chachoengsao from the Kla Party. The meeting decided the debate would last four days, 7-10 December, with the vote scheduled for 11 December at 10:00. The debate framework totals 72 hours: the first three days will have 19 hours of debate each day, starting at 08:00 and pausing at 03:00 the next day. The fourth day will last 15 hours, from 08:00 to 23:00, divided as 51 hours for the opposition, 17 hours for the government, and 4 hours for the chair.
After an hour of discussion, Mr. Kravee said he thanked all parties for the meeting and that they had reached a consensus satisfactory to everyone, enabling the no-confidence debate to proceed as intended, with nearly all opinions aligned except for minor details about the dates.
Mr. Parit then spoke about the time allocation, saying they wanted to ensure sufficient time for both sides to perform their roles — the opposition to present accusations and evidence, and the government to respond. Although the Cabinet proposed the 7–11 December timeframe, the opposition whip asked the Cabinet and Parliament to consider moving the dates earlier if possible, as all agree that the sooner the debate occurs, the better for oversight and time management.
This debate will span 4 plus 1 days, totaling 72 hours. The opposition is allocated 51 hours, the Cabinet 17 hours for explanations, and 4 hours for the chair. Days 1 to 3 will have debates from 08:00 to 03:00, and day 4 from 08:00 to 23:00, with the vote on day 5.
Regarding exact dates, all parties agree the sooner the better. They also request the Cabinet consider scheduling the debate earlier, as all whip groups agree that an earlier time would best support their duties in Parliament.
When asked about how many hours the Kla Party would receive, Mr. Parit said further detailed discussions are needed to determine whether their time will come from the government's or opposition's allocation, since this debate is based on the number of speakers and votes.
