On November 4, 2026, at the Thai Parliament, Mr. Natthonthon Srikorkue, a Member of Parliament for Songkhla representing the Bhumjaithai Party and serving as an advisor to the House Committee on Legal Affairs, Justice, and Human Rights, held a press conference to clarify his stance following the committee's unanimous 8-0 vote rejecting the operational guidelines of all 35 house committees and resolving to summon House Speaker Sopon Saram to testify.
Natthonthon revealed that internal disagreements had persisted within the Legal Committee, particularly among members affiliated with the Bhumjaithai Party. These disputes ranged from scheduling meeting dates to procedural operations, highlighting a deep division among committee members regarding the proper channels of parliamentary administration.

On the same day, political tensions escalated further as Suphachai voiced strong criticism against Rangsiman Rom, condemning the actions as an inappropriate abuse of authority. Suphachai explicitly demanded that Rom issue a formal apology to the Speaker of the House of Representatives over the dispute.
Cllashes between standing house committees and the House Speaker regarding jurisdiction and operational guidelines reflect underlying power struggles within the legislative branch. A committee summoning the Speaker is a rare occurrence that underscores intense political friction, prompting the Bhumjaithai Party to defend its leadership and push back against procedural overreach.
This ongoing dispute is expected to spark further discussions among political factions within the parliament as lawmakers attempt to resolve the friction between the Legal Committee and the office of the House Speaker.
