Move Forward PM candidate Pita Limjaroenrat will try again today to secure the premiership. Ahead of him are a range of possible scenarios, so join us at Thai PBS World for trusted, detailed and accurate reporting from start to finish.

 

10.10am: House speaker orders closing of endorsement for Pita’s nomination and announced that 304 MPs endorsed the nomination and that Pita is the sole candidate for the position of PM.

 

9.55am : Move Forward MPs Rangsiman Rome and Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn take turns to protest Akaradej, saying the Parliament is in the process of nominating Pita as the premier.

 

9.46am: Democrat MP  Akaradej Wongpitakroj protests saying the re-nomination of Pita to the premiership violates the Parliament’s regulation as it could be tantamount to submitting a repeat motion in a single parliamentary session.

 

9.45am: Wan Muhamad asks MPs to endorse Pita’s nomination.

 

9.40am: Pheu Thai MP Sutin Klungsang nominates Move Forward Party Pita Limjaroenrat for prime minister.

 

9.32am: House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha opens the joint sitting of parliament.

(1/2) BREAKING: MFP PM candidate #Pita posted a message on Facebook Wednesday morning imploring junta-appointed senators to respect the will of the people by voting for him as PM today. Pita added that country is currently facing a cloud of uncertainties.

 

(2/2) "It's been over 2 months since election...But we're still under this situation because under the charter the votes of the people are not enough & I have to ask for your consent in order to administer the country in accordance to the will of the people...I implore you.."

Guess it's two strikes you're out. 

I don't necessary approve of everything Pita represents, but the main thing he represents, that the people's votes in Thailand should actually matter is being (predictably) crushed. 

I really feel sad for the younger people of Thailand that thought there was still hope.

Why didn't Pita compromise?

Obviously I don't know, but I have an idea.

If he had, he likely still wouldn't become PM, and even if he did, it would be a hollow win to have betrayed his voters, just another corrupt politician who doesn't stick to any core principles. 

But going down "pure" as he's a young man, perhaps he's playing the long game. 

A martyr as it were for Thai democracy. No guarantee such a gamble will even bear fruit, but at least he can look himself in the mirror without barfing.

I think embassies will soon issue warnings to tourists not to be in public places in Bangkok.  Tricked out the will of 2/3 of the Thai population. Now this can end badly.
