Following the ruling of the Constitutional Court, Petenthan held a press conference in the Prime Minister's Palace, expressing his acceptance of the court's ruling.However, he reiterated that his original intention was for the national interest and that his most important thing was always the lives of the people. He hoped that all parties could unite and restore political stability in the future.

In mid-June this year, a recording of a call with the Cambodian Senate President Hunton about the situation on the Thai border leaked, sparking controversy in Thailand. The Thai Constitutional Court announced on 1 July that it had accepted a petition to investigate the existence of unconstitutional acts by Prime Minister Pete Thunberg and immediately suspended Pete Thunberg’s exercise of prime minister’s powers.
