Bhumjaithai party said it was talking with other parties towards forming a government and has agreed with demands made by the main opposition People’s Party, the largest party in parliament, in return for its support.
In a statement, Bhumjaithai said its priorities if it forms a government would be taking steps to amend the Constitution, resolve a border dispute with Cambodia, and dissolve parliament within four months.
The party has been holding a succession of meetings following the dismissal of Paetongtarn.
Paetongtarn, who was Thailand’s youngest prime minister, becomes the sixth prime minister from or backed by the billionaire Shinawatra family to be removed by the military or judiciary in a tumultuous two-decade battle for power between the country’s warring elites.
In its verdict, the court said Paetongtarn violated ethics in a leaked June telephone call, during which she appeared to kowtow to Cambodia’s former leader Hun Sen when both countries were on the brink of an armed border conflict.
