BANGKOK : With 313 MPs in the 500-seat House of Representatives, Move Forward’s eight-party coalition is “stronger than an iron ship’, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Thursday .
Move Forward’s seven coalition partners are the Pheu Thai, Thai Sang Thai, Thai Liberal, Prachachart, Fair, Plung Sungkom Mai, and Peu Thai Ruamphalang parties.“I said before that the previous government was an iron ship,” said Wissanu. Move Forward will still need 63 votes from MPs who are not members of the coalition or senators to elect Pita as the next Prime Minister because the 250 members of the military-appointed Senate vote with members of the Lower House to elect a prime minister, according to the junta-drafted Constitution.
The Election Commission is expected to announce the list of elected Members of the House of Representatives within 60 days after the May 14 election.The winning candidate will need half the votes from both chambers: 376 in total.
