(Photo: Seree Ruam Thai Party)Seri Ruam Thai Party leader Pol Gen Sereepisuth Temeeyaves says he will petition the Ombudsman over Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's appointment of Capt Thamanat Prompow as a deputy prime minister and as agriculture and cooperatives minister. In a Facebook post on Thursday, Pol Gen Sereepisuth said he would formally lodge the complaint at 1pm on Friday. The announcement quickly sparked debate online, drawing strong backing from supporters despite Seri Ruam Thai holding only one seat in parliament. The latest development follows a separate complaint filed on Tuesday by lawyer Pattharapong Supha-aksorn, who petitioned the Ombudsman to examine whether Capt Thamanat meets all legal qualifications required to serve as a cabinet minister.
