Cabinet lineup hinges on Matchima

Election Commission member Prapun Naigowit said on Thursday that his commission would quickly conclude a review on the job status of Matchima Thipataya Party leader Prachai Leophairatana in order to facilitate the Cabinet lineup.



"If Prachai's leadership remains unclear, this might impact on ministers appointed under the Matchima quotas because the appointments should be approved by the party excutive board beforehand," he said.

In related development, People Power Party deputy secretary general Noppadon Pattama said his party already finalised the list of ministers.

"Only Matchima's list remains incomplete and has yet to seek the approval of its executive board," he said.

He admitted that he was tipped to get the position of foreign minister.

He said the Cabinet should be ready to unveil by today or tomorrow. And the six coalition parties have scheduled tomorrow for a meeting to draw up the government policies which are expected to deepen populist policies such as the Village Fund, two and threedigit lotteries and the Special Vehicle Projects, including the million calves scheme.
