Wan Muhammad Nor Matha, the leader of the Prachachat Party, will serve as the House speaker, and each party will hold a deputy position, according to an agreement between the Move Forward Party ( MFP ) and the Pheu Thai Party.

Pita Limjaroenrat, the president of the MFP, stated at a press conference on Monday night that both parties had decided Mr. Wan Muhammad Nor would be the House speech on Tuesday. Pheu Thai would sit in the next sheriff’s seat as House Speaker, followed by MFP.

The six additional coalition friends, he claimed, agreed with the choice. Prachachat is one of the friends.

According to Mr. Pita,” This arrangement is for cohesion among the eight social events, who will do their best to name me for excellent minister.”

He declared that he would be the only candidate for prime ministerial office among the eight partnership allies.

Additionally, he stated that MFP and Pheu Thai may amend rules to forgive those who were being prosecuted for expressing their political views and to regenerate laws governing the armed forces, including those pertaining to internal stability and military law.

Because the Prachachat head was impartial and the plan was a way for coalition allies to move forward with their state development, Pheu Thai deputy president Phumtham Wechayachai said he proposed Mr. Wan Muhammad Nor as the House speech.

Cholnan Srikaew, the leader of Pheu Thai, declared that his party did not constitute any of its members to run for the position of House Speaker, and that other coalition parties would also not be permitted to do so.

Prior to now, MFP deliberately promoted Padipat Sunthiphada, a Phitsanulok MP, as its House speaker member. On Sunday, MFP and Pheu Thai were unable to come to an agreement regarding the speaker’s position due to rumors that the latter wanted its seasoned associate Suchart Tancharoen to fill the vacancy.

Pheu Thai had steadfastly argued in recent days that MFP now held the position of prime minister and that it deserved the author’s seat. Each group was required to have 14 ministers in the case.

In the May 14 basic election, Move Forward won 151 House votes while Pheu Thai received 141.

Mr. Wan Muhammad Nor stated earlier on Monday that he had never desired the speaker’s position but would be willing to accept it if doing so would guarantee the formation of alliance allies’ governments.

He originally belonged to Pheu Thai from 2012 to 2018.
