Many party-linked Senate candidates tipped to win

In the final round of the Senate election, major political parties, including the Move Forward Party ( MPF), are likely to see a sizable portion of their representatives or allies win seats, according to incoming Senate Speaker Pornpetch Wichit cholchai on Wednesday.

After the national-level voting takes place next Wednesday, he said, results of the vote to appoint 200 new legislators are anticipated on July 2.

” As you know, we do n’t really know who will win. But in my estimation, the big events, including the MFP, will probably win some seats. In this contest, he said,” there are expected to be a lot of successful applicants who are also politicians.”

Overall, he said, this anticipated outcome may contribute to enhancing variety in the content of the new Senate.

Voting for votes in the final round may not be unusual, but the Election Commission (EC ) must handle it, he said.

” Wait and see how free and fair this Senate vote will turn out to be.” Of training, some evidence of irregularities have already been observed and it’s the EC’s responsibility to deal with them”, he said.

Some successful candidates will have links to specific parties, according to Mr. Pornpetch, but they should n’t just be judged based on these links. He claimed that it will make sense to evaluate the performance of these fresh lawmakers.

Additionally, he claimed that unlike the previous Senate, the new Senate wo n’t be able to vote on a new prime minister’s selection in parliament.

The cheerful Senate was dubbed “provisional” because the 250 lawmakers were appointed with a unique clause in the 2017 law that gave them the power to participate in a political vote to choose a new prime minister. Serving from May 11, 2019 until May 10, this time, the Senate was dubbed “provisional.”

The cheerful Senate was the 12th and the first to be established since the 2014 revolution, which saw the removal of the interim government from power by former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra in a Constitutional Court decision.
