Prachachat party leader Wan Muhamad Noor Matha was selected as the new House speaker this morning (Tuesday). His candidacy was uncontested, after Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat nominated him.

 

According to selection procedure, when only one candidate is nominated, they are automatically selected.

 

Wan’s selection, which is yet to be endorsed by His Majesty the King in the form of a Royal Command, will pave the way for the House speaker, in his capacity as the president of the parliament, to call a joint session of the House and Senate to elect a new prime minister.

 

After his selection this morning, Wan, in his brief vision speech to MPs, vowed to perform his duties with impartiality, honesty and transparency, in compliance with the Constitution, laws and parliamentary regulations.

Junta-appointed senator Somchai Sawaengkarn posted on FB Tues saying "inexperienced" Move Forward has made a wrong move with House Speaker being from another party. He added MFP PM candidate Pita won't be chosen as PM so MFP will end up as opposition party for 4 yrs.

How can he (A) speak for all the senators and (B) know for certain he won't be chosen. I wouldn't be surprised if Pita becomes PM with only MP votes.

MF's candidate easily won the position of First Deputy Speaker.

Interesting point to note was that 312 votes for MF's candidate against 103 votes for UTN's candidate. No one from the coalition parties broke rank while 84 from the opposition camp didn't vote for their guy.

Yeah....maybe.

Yet, I still wonder what they're really up to. 

Either it's a surface blunder or political genius. 

 

Guess we'll see in the coming days.
