Two cabinet ministers from the Bhumjaithai Party will miss their oath of office before His Majesty the King on Friday due to positive Covid-19 test results.
Deputy Interior Ministers Songsak Thongsri and Sabeeda Thaised recently underwent Covid-19 testing, which confirmed their infections, preventing them from attending the ceremony at the Amporn Sathan Residential Hall at Dusit Palace at 5 pm.
Their oath-taking will be rescheduled, resulting in their absence from an informal cabinet meeting on policy statements scheduled for Saturday.
Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul, also serving as interior minister, confirmed the results and stated he will take on their duties until they recover and are able to take their oaths.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s government is set to finalize the process to commence work, with her policy statement before parliament expected next Wednesday and Thursday.
