"If this group can muster 320 votes from the House, it has all the justification it needs to form a majority government," said Adul Khiewboriboon, chairman of the support group. The group hopes the "Third Force" will reform the new charter, written under the influence of the military government. Mr Adul also criticised the pro-regime Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) for pushing ahead with efforts in forming a coalition government despite finishing second in the March 24 polls. The group was urging the senators to vote independently and take into consideration the public interest. The group also called on parties invited by the PPRP to join its coalition to look at other options.
