“It's definitely a compromise, because the two parties Pheu Thai and Move Forward have been unable to agree on the position of Speaker,” he told CNA’s Asia First., Prof Hewison said Mr Wan Muhamad brings with him prior experience, having served in that role previously between 1996 and 2000.He is currently the leader of the Prachachat Party, one of eight parties in a coalition aiming to form the next Thai government.
“It's the Speaker who sets the agenda for which pieces of legislation and which debates come on, and that may appease some senators who are concerned about the Move Forward Party’s agenda, particularly on article 112 or the lese majeste law, which they want to reform change,” explained Prof Hewison.
That may suggest to some senators that they could support Mr Pita for prime minister, said Prof Hewison. “We've had party dissolutions and disqualifications of top leaders, party leaders, and so on … So Pita is the next one, basically,” said Prof Thitinan, who added that the establishment forces working against Move Forward and Mr Pita are “very powerful”.One of the things that the coalition parties have agreed to is to continue pursuing military reform, something which will worry the military as they undergo a change of leadership in the next few months, said Prof Hewison.
“You imagine, 14.4 million voted for them on the proportional representation system. They were the largest winning party. How can the largest winning party be systematically excluded from government?”Prof Thitinan added that in most countries, a government would have already been formed after almost two months since an election.
