A group of 36 self-proclaimed separate lawmakers has originally agreed to support Boonsong Noisopon, a past career prosecutor, for the article of Assistant Senate Speaker, according to a team member.
One of the 36 legislators who met on July 18 to discuss the future collection of the Senate Speaker and two deputies, Nikhom Makrungchang, stated yesterday that the people chose to back Mr. Boonsong based on his credentials.
Mr. Boonsong has a strong legal background, having previously held roles in the highest positions in the Courts of Justice, including as the Regional 7 President of the Court of Appeal and as a Supreme Court judge. He is also a former part of the Election Commission.
In order to support Mr. Boonsong’s candidacy as Next Deputy, Mr. Nikhom stated that the group intends to discuss the organization’s plans with the so-called “blue faction of senators,” which are rumored to be connected to the Bhumjaithai Party. Nevertheless, he noted that he is not part of the dealing group and is not aware of the conditions.
He added that another team member expressed curiosity in running for the position of First Deputy, but the party asked the individual to ensure their plans to do so once more.
” We did n’t discuss the post of Senate Speaker, just the posts of the two deputies”, he said.
The team will find a Senate presenter with a strong legal background and clear goals, according to Mr. Nikhom, to ensure they can carry out their duties effectively during combined parliament sessions.
Noppadon Inna, who likewise outlined his vision during the class meeting, is the legislator who expressed interest in running for the First Deputy post, according to a cause. Mr. Noppadon is a former assistant pastor of Thammasat University and a original list-MP of the now-defunct Thai Rak Thai Party.
The group has agreed to speak with the blue party senators this year about their decision to support Mr. Boonsong, but according to the source, it has not yet decided whether or not to help Mr. Noppadon.
