Mr Anutin said on Friday no talks have been held yet with any parties, "either on the cabinet posts or anything else". Reports also confirm that the Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidate Yodchanan Wongsawat is tipped for the higher education ministerial post, while party leader Julapun Amornvivat is expected to become education minister. After that, the prime minister will submit the list of ministerial candidates for background checks prior to royal endorsement.
