[snoop1130]

 

Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat’s re-nomination for Thailand’s next prime minister, at the second joint sitting of the House and the Senate on Wednesday, has become a contentious issue to be discussed at a meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) between the Senate whips and party whips from the House of Representatives.

 

Senator Somchai Sawangkarn, representing the Senate whips, said today that he is glad that House speaker Wan Noor Muhamad Noor Matha, also the parliament president, hasscheduled a meeting tomorrow to resolve the contentious issue, before the joint sitting on Wednesday.

 

Somchai said that a number of senators doubt that Pita can be re-nominated, citing parliamentary Rule 41, which states that a motion which has failed to be endorsed by parliament may not be resubmitted in the same parliamentary session.

Appointed Senators.

Those "senators" are a total disgrace and have failed their country. I don't see any happy outcome from such a meeting.

The non-elected, junta appointed senators are doing exactly what they were put there for. Stop any progressive parties and protect the military.
