Popular Post webfact Posted July 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2023 Another joint sitting of the House and Senate, for the selection of Thailand’s new prime minister, has been scheduled for 9.30am on Thursday July 27th, House speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha said Wednesday night. He said that the meeting will begin with the nomination by political parties of prime ministerial candidates, followed by a debate on the qualifications of the nominees, which must be completed by 5pm, after which there will be a roll call vote. He said that Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat cannot be re-nominated, in accordance with Rule 41, after parliament voted 394:312 (with 8 abstentions and one who did not vote) on Wednesday that his re-nomination would break that rule.

webfact Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Pheu Thai Party Emerges as Leading Contender to Form New Government by Krajangwit Johjit BANGKOK (NNT) - Pheu Thai Party has taken a significant stride towards forming a new government as parliament rejected a bid to renominate Move Forward Party (MFP) leader Pita Limjaroenrat for a prime ministerial vote. The rejection was based on Regulation No.41, which prohibits the resubmission of a motion that has already been rejected during the same session. During a lengthy debate, lawmakers argued that Pita’s previous nomination for the position was already turned down by parliament on July 13 when he failed to secure the necessary majority vote in the initial round. With this development, the Pheu Thai Party has positioned itself as the front-runner in the race to form a government. Observers are now closely watching whether Pheu Thai will continue its alliance with the MFP, as outlined in their memorandum of understanding (MoU), or if it will seek to create an alternative coalition by including parties from the outgoing government and excluding the MFP. However, three parties from the current administration, namely Bhumjaithai, Palang Pracharath, and Chartthaipattana, have expressed their opposition to the MFP’s plan to amend Section 112 of the Criminal Code, known as the lese majeste law. These parties have made it clear that they will not join any government that includes the MFP. Following the parliamentary decision, Pheu Thai leader Cholnan Srikaew stated that the party is currently maintaining its cooperation with the other coalition allies. He indicated that discussions will take place among the eight coalition allies regarding potential revisions to the MoU and the inclusion of additional parties. House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha has scheduled the next round of prime ministerial voting on July 27.

keith101 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 This is what it has been all about ever since the MFP won and they lost , just can't get over the fact that the people wanted a change to a true Democratic Government and not the same old cronies running the country for themselves instead of the people 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 PT needs to stick with MF and make the senators face the decision of once again voting against democracy and the will of the voters. This time they can't hide behind the lame excuse of Pita's possibly holding an inherited miniscule share of a defunct media company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradiston Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Seems my copy's out of date. "Rules of Procedure of the House of Representatives B.E. 2562 (2019) -------------------------------------------- By virtue of section 128 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, B.E. 2562 (2019), the House of Representatives hereby issues the Rules of Procedure of the House of Representatives as follows: Rule 41 Rule 41 In the case where the Speaker decides that the complaint and supporting explanations are under Rule 39, he shall carry out the publication of the explanations by notifying it at the precinct of the House in order to be inspected by the public within the period of seven days and also publish the explanations in other method as he thinks it is appropriate." Er, hello? Any update on this? Hello? Tap tap tap. Is this thing working? "The party to the first part shall hereinafter be called the party to the first part." Groucho Marx, genius.
