Caretaker Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul remains tight-lipped on Thursday as reporters press him on whether the Klatham Party, with the fourth highest number of MPs-elect, would join his coalition. Representatives of the Thai Sang Thai Party and the New Alternative Party visited the Bhumjaithai head office in Bangkok on Thursday to promise their support for Mr Anutin. Thai Sang Thai is likely to have two MPs and New Alternative will have one. The big question, though, remains whether Bhumjaithai and the 58-MP Klatham Party can work out an agreement or whether the latter will move into opposition. Mr Anutin on Thursday declined to answer when reporters asked if his next coalition government would include Klatham.
