Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon has confirmed his close ties with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, but said he would not try to stop him leaving the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) with some of its MPs if he ever planned to.
Gen Prawit was responding to reporters' questions at Government House on Monday about rumours that Gen Prayut would move to the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party. They asked if Gen Prawit had discussed the issue with Gen Prayut.
