webfact Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 The Thai parliament will sit on July 13th to select the next prime minister and will sit again on July 19th and 20th if it cannot make the selection, Deputy House Speaker, Pichet Chuamuangphan, told the media on Thursday. Although there is no limit on the number of parliament sittings for the selection of the prime minister, he said that three should be enough to consider the prime ministerial candidacy of Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat. He admitted that it is not easy or convenient for all members of the House and Senate to attend joint sittings on frequent basis. #news Full story: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/deputy-house-speaker-says-3-sittings-enough-to-consider-pitas-pm-candidacy/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2023-07-06 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

ikke1959 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 If it is fair play there is only 1 sitting, but the senators are biggest problem. Mr Prayuth have said that the PM should come from the biggest party so if he keeps his word Pita will get his votes too, but ....... in Thailand nothing is what it looks like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Eric Loh Posted July 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2023 Quite remarkable that the time-line to form the government is moving way ahead of the schedule set by K Wissanu Krea-ngam deputy PM of the caretaker government. The date given by him was August 3 for voting of PM by both houses. This was brushed off with a much earlier date. There seem an air of confidence by the MFP+PTP coalition that they will get this done within 3 sittings. Perhaps the Parliament opening speech by the Majesty to both houses to work for the public gave them that confidence. We will soon see which senators will not heed that message in this open ballot voting. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
