[snoop1130]

 

Thailand’s House of Representatives is scheduled to hold its first meeting on July 4th, to elect the House speaker and two deputies, but the two major parties, Move Forward and Pheu Thai, are yet to settle on which of them will get the speakership.

 

Move Forward has already decided to nominate Padipat Suntiphada, while the Pheu Thai party is yet to choose its candidate, although it is speculated that Suchart Tancharoen will be nominated in case the two parties cannot resolve the matter before July 4th.

 

According to the Constitution, every MP is qualified to become the House speaker, as there is no law specifying minimum age or previous experience.
