The eight-party alliance seeking to form Thailand’s next government proposed Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat as their candidate for prime minister as the joint session of parliament began on Wednesday.
It is his second attempt to win the endorsement of the bicameral legislature after losing in his first attempt last Thursday.
Pheu Thai renominated Pita to parliament at 9.38am.
The United Thai Nation Party immediately argued against it, citing parliamentary regulations prohibiting a failed motion being resubmitted at the same session.
