Thailand’s former constitution writer Borwornsak Uwanno suggests that Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat seek a ruling from the Constitutional Court over parliament’s decision, by a majority vote on Wednesday, that Pita’s re-nomination falls foul of its Rule 41. He said that he feels sorry for Thailand and is upset with the MPs who joined senators to vote against Pita, noting that the Constitution has a clause specifying the process of the selection of the prime minister, which cannot be overruled by Rule 41. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/pita-advised-to-take-rejection-of-his-re-nomination-to-constitutional-court/

#โหวตนายกรอบ2: @Pita_MFP “I have received a document from the Constitutional Court to stand down as MP. I’m informing you, Mr. Speaker, that I’m acknowledging and complying with it until a verdict has been made. May I use this opportunity to say goodbye, until we see again and I’m asking my fellow MPs to look after the people.” “I believe that Thailand has changed since (the elections on) May 14 and the people have already won half the battle, there’s another half to go. Even though I’m not carrying out my duties (as MP), I’m asking my fellow MPs to look after the people. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.” https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1681579408354869249

Just the beginning:

I certainly hope not.

Now the happy clown: 1/2) Phalang Pracharath member Ruangkrai Leekitwattana said Weds at parliament it's time for Pita to leave parliament as the Constitutional Court has suspended Pita from his duty as PM pending the ruling on whether he lacks qualifications to be an MP due to ITV shareholding. (2/2) Ruangkrai was the person who initiated the petition which first went to the Election Commission https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1681556493160824834

Last time the Thai establishment tried to shut down its challengers, it sparked the biggest protests in a generation. Defying the people's will after their election success could prove far more dangerous. https://twitter.com/TostevinM/status/1679069649961402369

Move Forward Party supporters will gather at Democracy Monument today at 5pm to organize a mock funeral for junta-appointed senators https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1681540363499241472

Despite having been suspended from duty as MP effective immediately by the Constitutional Court pending ITV shareholding just now, #Pita is still sitting inside parliament a minute ago. Will he be asked to leave soon? https://twitter.com/PravitR/status/1681533459070844929

This does NOT bar @Pita_MFP from being nominated as PM in the National Assembly vote, as the PM doesn’t have to be a MP. However, legal challenges and a general obstructionist attitude by his opponents are making his bid insurmountable. https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1681530580410966016
