After the 2019 Thai general election, he shone heavily in politics, being a key figure of the Pheu Thai Party in the heated parliamentary debate on Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and he was appointed as Chairman of the Opposition whips in the 2019 election, looking for a point to attack the government of Prayut.
