Mingkwan Sangsuwan, the former leader of the New Economics Party (NEP) who joined the ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) on Tuesday, faces a challenge from key figures within the party over its choice of prime ministerial candidates.
Rong Boonsuaykhwan, a PPRP MP for Nakhon Si Thammarat, insisted any decision regarding the party's nomination of prime ministerial candidates must be decided on at a meeting of the party's executives, not just by making comments at a press conference, as Mr Mingkwan did on Tuesday.
