Nan Bunyatida responded to Natthapong, urging him not to over-criticize. She noted the Prime Minister also serves as an MP, so greeting fellow parliament members is normal. She pointed out that sitting on the parliamentary throne follows the official schedule, and ministers have been continuously responding to questions.
3 Nov 2026 GMT+7 Ms. Nan Bunyatida Somchai Deputy Minister of Digital Economy and Society and MP for Ubon Ratchathani from the Bhumjaithai Party, responded to the case Mr. Natthapong Ruangpanyawut List MP from the Prachachon Party and opposition leader in the House of Representatives, who raised concerns about the Prime Minister's role and duties in the House of Representatives, stating that The Prime Minister has another role as an MP. Therefore, walking to greet fellow members is normal and not unusual. On the contrary, walking stiffly without greeting anyone would be more surprising.
Regarding sitting on the throne, it depends on the schedule and duties at each time; it is not something one can do at any time. She suggested that questioning this might be more about fault-finding than understanding the actual role and duties.
Meanwhile, ministers have been rotating to explain and answer members' questions continuously in parliament, with questioners receiving responses relevant to their inquiries. She urged consideration of work based on facts and performance rather than raising selective incidents for political attacks.
