Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, Yotsanan Wongsawat, stated there have been no signals that the Kla Tham Party intends to join the government coalition following its departure from the opposition whip.

Yotsanan emphasized that the Pheu Thai Party remains focused on its commitments to the five ministries it currently oversees, specifically those dedicated to human capital development and agriculture.
