Interior Minister Chaovarat Chanweerakul on Thursday claimed that a splinter group of 20 Pheu Thai MPs will work with the coalition alliance although they are obligated to remain on the opposition bench.

Chaovarat said the MPs actually are allies of the Friends of Newin faction who rushed to adopt the Pheu Thai banner following the disbandment of the People Power Party, hence they are barred to swich party before the expiry of the House term.

He said the splinter group will keep ties with his Bhum Jai Thai Party.
