- On June 22, Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra met coalition leaders in Bangkok to reaffirm their support amid calls for her resignation.
- The resignation demands followed a leaked June 18 audio of her phone call with Cambodia's former leader Hun Sen, which sparked criticism over her border diplomacy.
- Paetongtarn, daughter of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, called for solidarity among allied parties such as the United Thai Nation to prioritize policies addressing the public’s concerns.

- Despite activist protests planned for June 28 demanding her resignation, Paetongtarn's government maintains coalition backing to pursue political stability and national security.
