The Thai parliament appointed a compromise candidate, Mr Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, to the powerful role of House speaker on Tuesday (July 4), potentially complicating progressive party leader Pita Limjaroenrat's efforts to form a government.
King Maha Vajiralongkorn officially opened the Thai parliament on Monday, more than a month after Mr Pita's pro-democracy Move Forward Party unexpectedly won the most seats at the May 14 election.
MFP and Pheu Thai had been at loggerheads for weeks over which party would hold the speakership, ultimately settling on compromise candidate Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, head of the smaller Prachachat Party, on Monday night."I will work neutrally," Mr Wan Noor told the parliament. Analysts say the fact that MFP was unable to get the coalition to back its own speaker candidate was not ideal for Mr Pita's prospects of taking the top job.
Ubon Ratchathani political scientist Titipol Phakdeewanich noted that the vote for prime minister could go through multiple rounds, and the speaker had an important role in putting names forward.
