- Phumtham Wechayachai posted on X on September 13, 2026, criticizing the orange party.
- He stated that if they had supported Chaikasem dissolving parliament, the Khao Kradong and Senate collusion cases would be over.
- He claimed the orange party let the blue faction form the government despite warnings.
On September 13, 2026, Phumtham Wechayachai, a key Pheu Thai Party leader, former deputy prime minister, and former interior minister, took to the X platform to deliver a sharp message targeting the orange party, stating they have no right to make demands of Pheu Thai.
Phumtham referred to past government formation talks, arguing that had the other side agreed to let Chaikasem Yondsurin dissolve parliament immediately without waiting four months, the controversial Khao Kradong land dispute would have been resolved within a single month, alongside the settlement of the Senate selection collusion issue.
The Khao Kradong land dispute and Senate selection controversy are complex legal and political issues in Thailand. Phumtham's remarks highlight ongoing political friction and attempts to shift accountability regarding past coalition-building decisions and legislative standoffs.

The Pheu Thai heavyweight further noted that the orange party showed little interest and allowed the blue faction to form the government instead, despite prior warnings from Pheu Thai that the two major contentious issues would have been properly addressed.
“We already did it, but you chose not to join us.”

This statement reinforces Pheu Thai's stance that they attempted to tackle the issues, but due to a lack of cooperation from the orange camp back then, they should no longer face pressure or demands regarding these matters.
