Bangkok: The core leaders of the Kla Tham Party have officially welcomed Anudit Nakornthap and Karun Hosakul to join the party's strategic team. Both Anudit and Karun expressed that their departure from Khunying Noi was amicable, having not participated in Thai Sang Thai activities for a period.
According to Thai News Agency, the executives of the Kla Tham Party, including Lt. Col. Thammanat Prompao, Ms. Narumon Pinyosinwat, Mr. Pai Lik, and Mr. Atthakorn Sirilatthayakorn, engaged in discussions with the former Bangkok MPs, Anudit and Karun, to explore potential political collaborations. Ms. Narumon emphasized that both Anudit and Karun, with their extensive political experience, are a valuable addition to the party. The agreement for their joining is confirmed, as they will contribute significantly to crafting political strategies.
Party leader Ms. Narumon highlighted that while specific roles within the party are yet to be defined, the primary focus would be on strategizing and executing political activities across Bangkok and other regions. The Kla Tham Party aims to present itself as a strong political force nationwide, welcoming former MPs and new members alike.
Capt. Anudit expressed gratitude towards the party leadership for the trust placed in them. He acknowledged the political challenges ahead and expressed readiness to leverage his experience for the party's mission. Despite the Kla Tham Party's recent inception, its people-focused ideology is expected to attract politicians and MPs with similar values.
Regarding his relationship with Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan of the Thai Sang Thai Party, Capt. Anudit clarified that their departure was well-communicated and without conflict. Both he and Karun had distanced themselves from active participation in the Thai Sang Thai Party, maintaining a focus on broader political movements.
Lt. Col. Anudit mentioned the potential for more politicians to join the Kla Tham Party, though current talks involve only himself and Mr. Karun. Future developments will depend on individual decisions.
Lt. Col. Thammanat also addressed rumors of additional politicians joining the party, confirming that discussions are ongoing. He emphasized the importance of unity and shared ideology within the party. Regarding speculation about the impact of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's situation on the government, Lt. Col. Thammanat dismissed any potential effects, focusing instead on the forthcoming election preparations.
