Two previous attempts by the election-winning Move Forward party to have its leader Pita Limjaroenrat endorsed as premier have been blocked by conservative and military-nominated lawmakers.
BANGKOK, Thailand – Thailand’s parliament is scheduled to sit on August 4 to try again to pick a prime minister, it said on Thursday, July 27, as a political stalemate drags on following a national election in May.The Pheu Thai party, which came second in May and is part of an eight-party alliance with Move Forward, is expected to make the next bid for the prime ministership.
But the military-nominated Senate and opponents from the conservative, royalist establishment have pushed back against Pita, stalling his attempts to become prime minister.A parliamentary document outlining its agenda for August 4 said the house would “consider and endorse a suitable individual to become prime minister.”
