webfact Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 SOON after the Constitutional Court postponed a hearing on accepting a petition on the constitutionality of a vote denying Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat a second chance to be named prime minister from today Aug. 3 to Aug. 16, tomorrow’s scheduled House/Senate vote for prime minister too was put off, Naewna newspaper said. House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha said as the Constitutional Court has postponed considering whether or not to accept the Ombudsman’s Office’s petition to rule on constitutionality of this vote, the first agenda of tomorrow’s joint meeting too has been put off with the second agenda moved up. This second agenda is the consideration of a legislation filed by Move Forward to amend the coup junta-designed constitution’s Section 272 to the extent that the unelected senators be no longer empowered to cast votes for prime minister alongside the elected MPs. by TNR Staff House Speaker Wan Muhanmad Noor Matha.

The paymaster is just a division maker, although he does still hold way too much power, over the naive. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an interesting vote - let's say that the 250 senators voted to keep their jobs, any one who voted for them out of the 500 left would clearly be a junta supporting puppet MP 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
