Meanwhile, the Pheu Thai Party has been allocated 8 seats, with ministerial appointments in five ministries: Mr. Suriya Jungrungreangkit as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Yotsanan Wongsawat as Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, Mr. Julaphan Amornwiwat as Minister of Education, Mr. Somsak Thepsuthin as Minister of Labor, and Mr. Prasert Chandraruangthong as Minister of Social Development and Human Security. The remainder will be assistant ministers' positions. Smaller parties collectively hold 3 seats.
