Pheu Thai deputy leader Phumtham Wechayachai, meanwhile, dismissed media reports about the prospective lineup, saying the details have yet to be settled so the reports are premature. As for the PPRP, Mr Phumtham wouldn't say if Pheu Thai has formally invited the party to join the Pheu Thai-led coalition. However, when asked to confirm whether the PPRP will become a coalition party, Mr Pai simply said the decision lies with Pheu Thai.
