Sam Mitr faction promises to behavePalang Pracharath leader Uttama Savanayana is flanked by Sam Mitr faction leaders Somsak Thepsuthin, left, and Suriya Juangroongruangkit at Tuesday's news conference at party headquarters in Bangkok. "The Sam Mitr group will not cause problems for the prime minister, so he will have time to work for the country. After communicating with seniors yesterday, whatever positions the group now receives will be the decision of the prime minister," Mr Suriya said. On Monday Sam Mitr demanded the ouster of Sontirat Sontijirawong from the job of PPRP secretary-general over the cabinet seat allocation. Mr Somsak on Tuesday said Sam Mitr would stop calling for the removal of Mr Sontirat now that it had fully informed "those in power" of Mr Anucha's contribution.
