(Photo: Prasit Tangprasert)A Nakhon Ratchasima-based political faction of the Pheu Thai Party (PTP) said it expects to be allocated two cabinet seats after winning 14 House seats in Sunday's general election. Mr Weerasak, a former deputy transport minister, said it was the first time a political party received more than 500,000 votes in the province. "We won several House seats, and I think we deserve two ministerial posts," he said. Mr Weerasak's group is also speculated to form a political partnership with the Pheu Thai Ruam Palang Party, which won two constituency seats in Ubon Ratchathani.
