Mingkwan Saegsuwan, former deputy prime minister and commerce minister, dropped a bombshell on the very first day that he was presented to the media by Gen Prawit Wongsuwon, leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, as a new member and possibly head of its economic team.
Mr Mingkwan told the media that he decided to join Palang Pracharath because Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is no longer with the party.
