Setthakij Thai Party leader Thamanat Prompow. Deputy Setthakij Thai leader, Wichit Plangsrisakul, said on Tuesday the defeat in the by-election showed that people disagreed with the party supporting the government. The two MPs on Tuesday submitted a letter informing the prime minister they want to resign from those roles with immediate effect. Setthakij Thai is home to 18 MPs, including Capt Thamanat, who were all expelled by the PPRP for acting as renegades. Pheu Thai Party leader Cholnan Srikaew previously said he expected the debate to last five days, probably from July 18-22.
