The Pheu Thai Party (PTP), the party now tasked with forming a government, has commenced negotiations with other parties after the previous coalition found itself in a deadlock following a perplexing defeat during the second nomination of Move Forward Party (MFP) leader Pita Limcharoenrat for Prime Minister on July 19, when parliament voted to block individuals from being nominated more than once.

Former finance minister Korn Chatikavanij has announced that he is stepping down as the leader of the Chart Pattana Kla Party to spend more time with his family.
