- Rangsiman Rome responds to Suphachai Chaisamut over the committee's decision to summon the Prime Minister.
- Confirms the unanimous 7-0 vote was conducted in strict accordance with parliamentary laws.
- Warns against any attempts to dominate the House of Representatives or create a partisan bloc.
Rangsiman Rome, a list-MP of the People's Party and chairman of the House Committee on Legal Affairs, Justice, and Human Rights, posted a statement on Facebook on November 6, 2026, addressing a press conference held by Suphachai Chaisamut and fellow MPs from the Bhumjaithai Party.
The dispute arose after the legal committee reached a unanimous 7-0 vote on November 5, 2026, at 4:15 PM, officially calling upon Anutin Charnvirakul, in his capacity as Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, to provide clarification and testimony before the parliamentary meeting.

Rangsiman criticized Suphachai, urging him to stop pointing fingers at others especially when he failed to attend the meeting himself, and accused the opposing side of acting like sore losers attempting to disrupt proceedings.
"The committee's resolution summoning the Prime Minister is legally valid, and we will never surrender to attempts to monopolize parliament."

Furthermore, the committee chairman firmly asserted that he would never allow absolute political control over the legislative branch, warning against any moves to transform the House of Representatives into a controlled political sphere.
This political friction highlights the ongoing tensions between parliamentary oversight committees and executive leadership in Thailand. When opposition-led committees utilize formal mechanisms to question top government officials, it frequently triggers legislative battles and public debates over the constitutional limits of parliamentary authority.
