Somchai Wongsawat of the PPP chaired the press conference. He thanked the coalition parties for entrusting his party with the task of leading the coalition.
He did not reveal who would be prime minister. He said party secretary general Surapong Suebwonglee would coordinate with five coalition partners later in the evening to mull over the nomination.
He emphasised that the PPP has yet to draw conclusion on the matter. He evaded the question whether Samak Sundaravej would be reinstated.
