Thailand’s former constitution writer Borwornsak Uwanno suggests that Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat seek a ruling from the Constitutional Court over parliament’s decision, by a majority vote on Wednesday, that Pita’s re-nomination falls foul of its Rule 41.

 

He said that he feels sorry for Thailand and is upset with the MPs who joined senators to vote against Pita, noting that the Constitution has a clause specifying the process of the selection of the prime minister, which cannot be overruled by Rule 41.

 

“Even though you (MPs) are in the opposition camp, you should know when to shed the role of the opposition and do the right thing,” said Borwornsak, adding that parliament’s decision on Wednesday is not yet final.

It should be taken to court--there shouldn't be ambiguity in regard to the prime minister selection process.

Unfortunately the Constitutional Court is fully occupied with a number of other cases at present. They may be able to hear a petition from Pita in about 12 months.
