Mr Somkid was known to have introduced Ms Narumon, professor at the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida), to politics. Of the allegation that she backstabbed her one-time friend, Ms Narumon told reporters: "That is only your interpretation of events." "I think Mr Somkid should go," Mr Chaiwut said, emerging from a PPRP meeting this week. Mr Somkid must have picked up the vibe of hostility early, and it apparently touched a nerve. On the other hand, individuals looking to replace them who are also inadequate for the jobs should stay away, Mr Somkid said.
