Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat failed in his first bid to become prime minister. A second round of voting will take place next week but there’s no guarantee Thailand will get out of its political limbo, says Control Risks director Harrison Cheng.
, whose Move Forward Party had emerged as the largest party in parliament after the May general election., voting played out almost exactly as his naysayers had predicted, falling 51 votes short of the 375-vote threshold needed to clinch the prime ministerial post.
Yet even the gains in the tourism sector could dissipate quickly if the political quagmire triggers large-scale civil unrest - a scenario which now grows more likely after Mr Pita’s first failed prime ministerial bid. Mr Pita wants to run again, while Move Forward’s key coalition partner, Pheu Thai, has pledged to back him.Pita has promised to work harder to court the senators but they will not budge unless he agrees to drop the lese-majeste reform pledge - an unlikely concession as he and his party would lose credibility among their supporters.
The second is if the Constitutional Court decides to disqualify Mr Pita from the second round based on. This would effectively force the opposition to nominate someone else or risk being out-manoeuvred by an incumbent coalition leader.
