Padipat angling to retain deputy speaker's job
At a legislature meeting on July 13, Padipat Santipada served as the first lieutenant presenter. Chanat Katanyu is shown in the image.

The Move Forward Party would let the MFP to assume its position as opposition leader in the legislature if Padipat Santipada were to be expelled from the position of House assistant speech, as he has admitted.

After the MFP elects a fresh leader and senior committee on Saturday, Mr. Padipat said the problem may become apparent.

The new withdrawal of Pita Limjarorenrat as MFP head necessitated the changing of the guard. & nbsp,

Mr. Pita, who was barred from the legislature pending a court decision in his media share-holding case, claimed he stepped off so the group may choose another candidate who could also serve as the opposition’s leader. Thawatchai Tulathon, the party secretary standard, is probably going to take his place. & nbsp,

However, as long as Mr. Padipat is still a party member and holds the position of lieutenant speaker, MFP may andnbsp may lead the opposition. Mr. Padipat represents the Phitsanulok district.

The largest group that is not in power is chosen to serve as the opposition leader under Section 106 of the contract. Its MPs are not permitted to hold positions such as government ministers, House speaker, or surrogate speech.

Despite having the most seats, 151, the MFP don’t officially lead the opposition camp because Mr. Padipat is now the second deputy speaker.

The MFP is rumored to be considering expelling Mr. Padipat in order to circumvent this restraint, allow him to switch parties and continue serving as deputy loudspeaker, and allow the new chief to take over as opposition leader. & nbsp,

The one-MP Fair Party, which is carefully affiliated with the MFP, has stated that it will accept Mr. Padipat if he is expelled. & nbsp,

Mr. Padipat acknowledged on Wednesday that leaving the party was a possibility. & nbsp,

Although I didn’t remove myself from the MFP, it’s undoubtedly one of many options being considered, he said. & nbsp,

Mr. Padipat may own 30 days to add another group if he were to be expelled from the MFP. He apparently spoke with the Fair Party about the matter.

At the MFP’s public assembly on Saturday, sources said Apichart Sirisunthorn is likely to be elected secretary-general and Parit Watcharasin the party official. Both men work as record MPs.
