The next parliamentary ballot for a new prime minister will not take place until Friday, according to the president of the legislature. Pita Limjaroenrat, the leader of the Move Forward Party( MFP ), had just been nominated for prime minister when the Constitutional Court announced it would delay its decision on parliament’s resolution.
Wan Muhamad Noor Matha & nbsp announced on Thursday that the court had yet to rule on Mr. Pita’s rejection of the renomination, forcing him to delay the vote on Friday. & nbsp,
According to Mr. Wan,” The court has yet to act on the issues regarding the prime ministerial vote and a obtain( by the Ombudsman ) to prolong the subsequent vote for primary Minister.”
On Thursday night, the Constitutional Court stated in a speech that the problems require careful consideration.
The petitions involved issues with the constitutional monarchy, and the judge is expected to make a determination on August 16. According to the statement, it had instructed its staff to research pertinent information to support its concern. & nbsp,
Assoc Prof Pornchai Theppanya and Assistant Prof Boonsong Chalaythorn, who supported MFP in the May 14 basic election, were the case’s accusers. Panyarat Pusitanont, a MFP MP, was another plaintiff.
They complained in their requests to the Constitutional Court through the Ombudsman that their legal rights were violated by the parliament’s dismissal of Mr. Pita candidacy. They asked for a court order to delay the parliament’s decision on the prime minister until after the opinion of the court.
These issues were sent to the contract court by the Ombudsman next month.
On July 13, Mr. Pita did not receive a lot voting to become the prime minister in the joint session of the House and the Senate. His candidacy was put forth on July 19, but the legislature rejected it that same day, citing a rule from the previous session of the legislature that forbade resubmission of motions that had failed during that session.
An eight-party partnership ally, which included his election-winning MFP and the first runner-up Pheu Thai Party, earlier nominated Mr. Pita for the premiership.
But, Pheu Thai declared on Wednesday that it would leave the eight-party bond and put Srettha Thavisin forward as its candidate for prime minister in the upcoming parliamentary election.
