Bhumjaithai MP Presses Law Committee Chair on PM Summons Dispute, Reveals Rom Said No Resolution to Summon

Ritirong publicly challenged the Chair of the Law Committee to clarify the resolution on summoning Deputy Prime Minister Anutin before proceeding, after Rom stated in the meeting that "there is no resolution to summon," only an approval resolution.


On 12 Nov 2026 GMT+7, during the meeting of the House of Representatives' Law, Justice and Human Rights Committee, Ritirong Phumisawat, MP for Maha Sarakham District 1 from the Bhumjaithai Party, raised concerns about the meeting process and resolution on 5 Nov 2026 GMT+7 regarding the submission to the House Speaker to summon Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul to provide explanations.

Ritirong said he agreed with organizing the agenda to ensure orderly meetings and protect minority rights, but if other committee members propose issues, they should be allowed to present and vote according to regulations. He questioned whether the voting procedure on 5 Nov was conducted properly under rules. He stressed the Committee Chair must clarify the status of that resolution clearly, as ambiguity could affect the legitimacy of the process and subsequent steps, especially for the Law Committee, which must strictly adhere to regulations.

Meanwhile, Rangsit Rom, list MP from the People's Party and Chair of the Law Committee, responded in the meeting that "on 5 Nov there was no resolution to summon," emphasizing it was only an approval resolution, not a summons of the Prime Minister.

This clarification came amid previous claims about a unanimous 7-vote resolution and the use of the summons authority law to require the Prime Minister's explanation. Ritirong therefore stressed that all procedures must be clear, verifiable, and follow regulations, as the Law Committee must properly fulfill its duties before investigating anyone.
