Several government MPs were outraged at the mention of the institution in the censure motion as critics were under the impression that the monarchy was being possibly dragged into the business of politics, which they insisted would be uncalled for. In this case, an injunction may be sought to halt the censure debate pending the court's ruling on the matter. According to Mr Witoon, as a senior party figure, he expected to be placed high on the party-list. Both apparent snubs left him without a job in the party, according to Mr Witoon. Mr Witoon is known to have close ties with Chada Thaiseth, the Bhumjaithai MP for Uthai Thani.
