After internal deliberations, consultations and consideration of views from party members, the majority within the party concluded that Pheu Thai should join the coalition government, he said. The Pheu Thai legal team is also pursuing the matter and will monitor progress until a conclusion is reached, he added. They are the Economic Party, New Democracy Party, New Party, Ruam Jai Thai Party, Thaisubthawee Party, People’s Power Party and New Dimension Party. Unofficially, Bhumjaithai, Pheu Thai and three microparties that have formally agreed to join the coalition have 272 seats in total, enough for a majority in the 500-seat House.
