UPDATE:

 

Deputy PM Wissanu says waiting out the Senate’s voting power beyond May 2024 is not really viable
by Joseph O' Connor

On Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam appeared to suggest that any strategy that contemplates waiting out the Senate voting power over the selection of the next Prime Minister, which expires on May 11th 2024, is not likely to succeed. It comes amid rising political uncertainty and the potential for political instability up to this August when the combined National Assembly will vote to elect Thailand’s 30th Prime Minister.


There are only three developments that can lead to a political crisis being avoided in early August with Mr Pita Limjaroenrat’s name being nominated in parliament for the position of Prime Minister. All of them, at present, seem unlikely to happen.
