A political deal involving the formation of a new government has been reached in Hong Kong between Thaksin Shinawatra and Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, the leader of the Progressive Movement, a source in the Pheu Thai Party says.
The source said Mr Thanathorn flew to Hong Kong on Monday morning and returned to Thailand the following day.
"They discussed the possibility of the MFP [Move Forward Party] being excluded from the new government," the source said. The source did not give further details.
The Progressive Movement emerged after the Future Forward Party (FFP), which Mr Thanathorn founded and served as leader, was disbanded.
