Seven "renegade" Pheu Thai Party MPs who voted for the 2023 budget bill have been kicked out of the party's Line group and will also face an ethical probe likely leading to their expulsion.
Wisut Chainaroon, an MP for Phayao who sits on the party's ethics committee, said on Saturday the seven MPs had not taken part in party activities and it is likely they will abandon the party at the next election.
"The party will meet on Tuesday and I will propose setting up a committee to launch an ethical probe which will pave the way for the party to expel them," Mr Wisut said.
