Following Thursday's parliamentary session, the People's Party issued a statement calling on Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to dissolve the House of Representatives to show responsibility. 

Parliament spent two days deliberating in its second reading a bill proposing amendments to the 2017 Constitution concerning the amendment process and the formation of a constitutional drafting committee. During Thursday's session, a joint sitting of MPs and senators voted to reject a proposal that future constitutional amendments be approved by a simple majority in the joint sitting, opting instead to revert to requiring support from at least one-third of senators. 

In response, the People's Party prepares to file a no-confidence motion against Anutin's government.

At around 22.00 on Thursday (11 December), several news outlets reported that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has submitted a draft royal decree dissolving the House of Representatives for royal endorsement.

The statement, issued at around midnight, noted that Bhumjaithai representatives on the ad hoc committee drafting the constitutional amendment bill. However, its MPs voted against the proposal to require only a simple majority without a Senate vote requirement. 

Requiring support from the Senate allows the Senate to control the content of the new Constitution, said the statement, which also noted that the vote means amending the Constitution will not bring about what the people want.

The statement said that the People's Party has been trying to compromise, but voting to keep the Senate vote requirement is an unacceptable attempt to block the road towards a new People's Constitution.

The party demands that the Prime Minister take responsibility and dissolve the House. It also called on the Bhumjaithai Party to complete its final mission regarding constitutional amendment, which is to have the caretaker cabinet pass a resolution in its upcoming meeting next Tuesday (16 December) to schedule the first referendum on constitutional amendment on 8 February 2026.

The party has also reportedly called an urgent meeting with its MPs on Thursday night (11 December) after the parliamentary session ended. Party executives will also be meeting on Friday (12 December) to discuss future steps.
