Deputy Prime Minister and Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) leader Prawit Wongsuwon has downplayed reports of party MPs seeking to defect to the United Thai Nation Party (UTN), saying the two parties are "like one".
Gen Prawit also brushed aside a report of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha severing ties with the PPRP, saying: "Who said I am upset? I am not under any stress at all. No MPs are being taken away."
