A cabinet reshuffle is expected to take place soon and may involve the ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) after some party members lobbied for their leader Gen Prawit Wongsuwon to take over the interior portfolio ahead of the general election.
The Democrat Party is seeking a reshuffle to fill a seat left vacant by Niphon Bunyamanee who resigned as deputy interior minister to fight a court case for alleged malfeasance while he was president of the Songkhla provincial administration organisation (PAO) in 2013.
