Attakorn Sirilatthayakorn, Member of Parliament for Chachoengsao and spokesman for the Klatham Party, revealed the party's official stance regarding the opposition's upcoming no-confidence motion targeting the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers, stating that his party was neither contacted nor invited to participate in drafting the motion.
Upon reviewing the specific details of the submitted motion, the party concluded that several key allegations against the Prime Minister and ministers lacked a direct connection to actual government administration and public policy execution.
A no-confidence debate is constitutionally designed as the supreme legislative tool for holding the executive branch accountable. However, political dynamics often spark debates over whether such motions serve genuine public interest or function primarily as political leverage. The Klatham Party's reluctance reflects the perspective that legislative oversight should remain strictly anchored to executive performance rather than broader political disputes.
The Klatham Party spokesman further noted that the motion placed heavy emphasis on political controversies, particularly allegations surrounding Senate selection collusion, rather than evaluating the administration's efficiency in solving public hardships. This raises serious questions about whether the primary objective is genuine governance oversight or partisan political maneuvering.
"The Klatham Party believes that the debate should focus on national administration, public hardships, and issues the government must answer for, rather than turning the no-confidence stage into a platform for expanding political agendas."

Furthermore, Attakorn pointed out inconsistencies in the selection of ministers targeted by the opposition. He noted that certain ministers actively managing urgent crises, particularly flood management and water resource administration affecting citizens directly, were omitted from the list, while others facing unclear allegations were included.
Ultimately, the party concluded that an interrogation structured this way would fail to resolve public issues, leaving citizens without any tangible benefits from the legislative oversight process.
