Democrats find Niphon replacement

The Democrat Party has proposed that Naris Khamnurak, its MP for Phatthalung, fill the deputy interior minister post left vacant by Niphon Bunyamanee, who quit last month to fight a court case.

Democrat leader Jurin Laksanawisit said he has informed Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha of the choice and it is now up to the premier, who has the final say, to proceed with the matter.

Mr Niphon resigned as deputy interior minister in early September to fight a malfeasance charge in connection with a case involving the Songkhla provincial administrative organisation (PAO) in 2013, when he served as its president.
