This organizational shift involves a direct personnel swap at the executive level. Dr. Ekkaphop, a former Member of Parliament for Chiang Rai representing the Move Forward Party, previously served as an assistant to Phradorn Prissananantakul, Minister Attached to the Prime Minister's Office, before stepping into his new communications role.
