BREAKING: Former PM candidate and Move Forward Party leader #Pita released a short video clip Fri night saying his party won't allow the powers that be to "turn back the clock" & the 27 million votes of the eight-party coalition must be meaningful. https://twitter.com/PravitR/status/1682415701213184000

As to which of the party’s three candidates it will be, he said that they have yet to decide. The party’s three candidates are Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Srettha Thavisin and Chaikasem Nitisiri. The party is scheduled to decide on July 16th. Excuse me. My bold,

How many times have we heard this during the last few weeks?

Meanwhile, @Pita_MFP has posted something for the first time since his PM bid ended on Thursday, showing himself on a much-needed break at the beach with his daughter. “Forward together,” it says. https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1682345642671341568

Ok, I’m fairly certain now that @PheuThaiParty is more than willing to ditch @MFPThailand if it secures them the path to power. It’s highly risky and unpopular. If it survives that long, 4 years is a long time in Thai politics - but unlike in the past, people won’t forget. https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1682338376077414400

With Bhumjai Thai, UTN & prominent junta-appointed senators like Somchai Sawaengkarn saying no to Pheu Thai as long as they're still with Move Forward Party, the chance of MFP ending up in the opposition is now high to very high. https://twitter.com/PravitR/status/1682323365904912384?ref_sr

BREAKING: United Thai Nation Party leader Pirapan Salirathavibhaga said Friday the party will not join a Pheu Thai-led coalition as long as Move Forward Party is part of the coalition. Just hours before Bhumjai Thai Party leader Anutin Charnveerakul said the same thing. https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1682319112494792705

BREAKING: PTP issues a statement Fri it will seek to woo supports from MPs outside 8-party coalition & senators & will announce progress in due time. It also noted the pledge to amend the lese majeste law by MFP led to MFP PM candidate Pita not gaining enough support https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1682293335023845376

JUST IN: The@PheuThaiParty will consult within its 8-party-coalition in the formation of the new govt, says party leader@Cholnan, after MFPThailand yielded earlier today. The coalition will meet later today https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1682279723710427136 . @PheuThaiParty deputy leader@phumtham: “We’ll consult later today (with the 7 other coalition partners) what the problems were (for@Pita_MFP getting rejected as PM) (…) (MFP’s plans to amend) lèse majesté is one of them. (…) We need to get a new govt to fix Thailand asap.” Replying to @SaksithCNA @phumtham : We are certain that we will get a new Prime Minister on Jul 27.

Hope you're wrong but let's see what transpires on 27 July. Having said that, if you are correct, we all know what will happen in Thailand.

Although Anutin has stated that he will not join a coalition if MFP remain. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/politics/40029545

The questions remains is will there be enough votes for Srettha to become PM knowing that MFP are still in his coalition, plus or minus Pita?

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/
