Cabinet line-up to involve five and not four positions: Suthep

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thuagsuban on Friday hinted the Cabinet line-up to involve five and not four positions as earlier understood.

Three positions will involve the Democrat quotas. The incoming Cabinet members are Deputy Prime Minister Trairong Suwankhiri, Education Minister Chinnaworn Boonyakiart and Public Health Minister Jurin Laksanavisit.

Two positions will be under the quotas of Bhum Jai Thai Party. The party has confirmed its nomination of Pansiri Kullanartsiri for the position of deputy public health minister.

Deputy Transport Minister Prajak Kaewklahansaid he might exit the government. And his successor is likely to be MP Suchart Chokchaiwattanakorn from Maha Sarakham.

Bhum Jai Thai Party deputy leader Boonjong Wongtrairat said, however, he was unaware about Prajak's departure at this juncture.
