A group of 21 MPs expelled from the ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) for going rogue have asked to be seated on the government side, said deputy chief government whip Chinnaworn Boonyakiat.
Mr Chinnaworn, a Democrat MP for Nakhon Si Thammarat, said the expelled MPs, led by former PPRP secretary-general Thamanat Prompow, still retain their status and can attend House meetings.
He said the group has informed him that they prefer to be seated with government MPs.
