Anupong was asked by reporters on his arrival at the TOT auditorium building for the government policy debate if he could comment on Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan’s application for membership of Phalang Pracharat.

Anupong said he had no comment on the issue and added that he had no plans to join the party.

Anupong, one of three generals who led the 2014 coup and became part of the junta, is believed to be one of three main targets of the opposition during the policy debate after Prawit and Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha.

Anupong said he has prepared information to respond to the opposition if it mentions him and his ministry during the debate.
