On 8 August 2019, party leader Mongkolkit said that Thai Civilized and four other parties would withdraw from the government coalition due to the parties not being assigned any cabinet positions, forming an "independent opposition" separate from the existing coalition.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/politics/1726795/mongkolkit-five-small-parties-will-leave-the-government|title=Mongkolkit: Five small parties will leave the government|last=Sattaburuth|first=Aekarach|date=8 August 2019|work=Bangkok Post|access-date=8 August 2019}} However, following talks, the other parties announced that they would not leave the coalition, thus causing Thai Civilized to leave the government alone, officially doing so on 13 August 2019.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/1729731/tiny-parties-giant-power|title=Tiny parties, giant power|date=14 August 2019|work=Bangkok Post|access-date=14 August 2019}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/politics/1729555/mongkolkit-stands-firm-on-peoples-mp-position|title=Mongkolkit stands firm on 'people's MP' position|date=13 August 2019|work=Bangkok Post|access-date=14 August 2019}}
