Puea Pandin to join PPP-led coalition : Suwit
Puea Pandin Party leader Suwit Khunkitti Monday revealed that his party had already struck a deal with Chart Thai Party to join the coalition alliance led by the People Power Party.
"We have agreed in every detail and are awaiting to hold a press conference to announce the deal," he said, noting that the timing of the announcement would happen following the mourning period of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana.
