When lawmakers gathered on Tuesday night, Wan Muhammad Nor Matha, the head of the Prachachat Party, was the only candidate for the position of House speech. As a result, he was declared elected in accordance with political rules.

When the House convened for its first program, Pita Limjaroenrat, the head of the Move Forward Party, proposed Mr. Wan Nor. 496 staff signed up for the event. There are 500 people present.

The meeting was therefore addressed by Mr. Wan Nor, 79, who outlined his vision for the position as required by political regulations. & nbsp,

He declared that he would be politically balanced and heed the counsel His Majesty the King provided when the new congress was inaugurated on Monday.

Mr. Wan Nor pledged to carry out his duties honorably and in accordance with political rules and laws.

Mr. Wan Nor was the only candidate, so according to political rules, he was chosen to speak in the House.

The planned covert voting for House speaker was postponed by Interim House Speaker Virote Pao, who also declared Mr. Wan Nor to be the new Speaker of the House.

Mr. Wan Nor has won nine elections to the House. He previously held the positions of House Speaker, ex-president of the legislature, deputy interior minister, minister for transportation, and secretary of agriculture.

After months of insisting they each wanted the position and coming to a standstill, the Move Forward Party and Pheu Thai Party— the two main partnership allies— agreed on Monday to nominate Mr. Wan Nor for House speech.

The secret vote for two assistant speakers was to be conducted by the House after on Tuesday.

It was anticipated that the two major parties would share the opportunities.
