Thai PM hopeful Pita can’t be nominated twice, senator says
BANGKOK – Thai pro-democracy leader Pita Limjaroenrat will attempt a second time to become the nation’s prime minister, after aMr Pita, 42, the leader of the Move Forward Party that emerged as the single-largest party in the May general election, hopes for his support base to increase in the vote due on Wednesday.“The eight-party coalition agreed to nominate me to be Thailand’s 30th prime minister on July 19,” he said after a meeting with coalition partners on Monday evening.
His comments came on a day when members of the 250-strong Senate cited parliamentary provisions to say that he cannot run a second time, which adds a new hurdle for Mr Pita’s attempt at government formation. Addressing some senators’ claim that he cannot be nominated again, Mr Pita said a prime minister nomination is different from a motion, which cannot be raised twice in the same parliamentary session if it fails.
Mr Pita, who on Monday reiterated that he will not back down from that campaign promise, said he will eventually step aside to let a coalition partner take the lead. That will happen only should he fail in his second attempt, and also if a Bill brought by Move Forward to strip the Senate of its voting power fails to be passed.
