House speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha said the new vote for premier, scheduled for Thursday (July 27), had to wait for the court's decision.
Thailand's Parliament on Tuesday postponed a vote to choose a new prime minister, prolonging the kingdom's political deadlock more than two months after an election won by opposition parties.
House speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha said the new vote for premier, scheduled for Thursday, had to wait for the court's decision. Shortly before the second vote, the 42-year-old was also hit with a Constitutional Court case suspending him as an MP over his ownership of media shares, which is prohibited for lawmakers under Thai law.
Mr Pita managed 324 votes across the two houses in the first ballot, with only 13 of the senators supporting him.
