BANGKOK - Another Thai political party has pulled out from the governing coalition led by the pro-military Palang Pracharat Party over an offensive"monkey" comment.
"The party signed an agreement in May to support General Prayut Chan-o-cha as prime minister to help break a deadlock so that a government can be formed to allow the country to move forward economically and socially," said Mr Aniruth Samutkojorn, PTP secretary. PTP is the second party to pull out from the government of Prime Minister Prayut which was formed in July. The ruling coalition now consists of 17-parties.
More defections from the coalition could make it difficult for the government to pass a budget in the coming months, which would be crucial to maintaining investor confidence amid slowing economic growth.
