Deputy Prime Minister and ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) leader Prawit Wongsuwon has denied trying to wield influence over the Setthakij Thai Party by putting the brakes on a plan by its secretary-general, Capt Thamanat Prompow, to have dinner with the opposition Pheu Thai Party.
Gen Prawit was responding to deputy Pheu Thai leader Yuttapong Charasathien, who accused him of trying to dominate Setthakij Thai, which could lead to the dissolution of the PPRP under the law on political parties.
