webfact Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 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. #news Full story: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/314049-2/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2023-07-04 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post dinsdale Posted July 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2023 A good choice and wise decision. Minor party within the coalition. Will never need to vote as the only time this would happen would be with a tied vote in the house and this will never happen with such a massive majority. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if Pita becomes PM with only MP votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either it's a surface blunder or political genius. Guess we'll see in the coming days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
