People's Party MPs arrive at parliament to formally register as members of the 27th House of Representatives while wearing T-shirts printed with the Thai word 'prachachon' (people). Apichart JinakulNatthaphong Ruengpanyawut, leader of the People's Party, has pledged to perform his duties as opposition leader vigorously despite a looming legal case involving 44 MPs from his party. The party will also move to establish an opposition whip and formally appoint an opposition leader once internal discussions are completed. Under parliamentary rules, the opposition leader must come from the largest opposition party, which currently positions the People's Party to hold the post. During the registration on Monday, he led 118 People's Party MPs to parliament.
