Thai politics: Tussle between Move Forward and Pheu Thai over House Speaker position

There are signs that all may not be well for Thailand's coalition government-in-waiting. A tussle has emerged between Move Forward and Pheu Thai over who will take the prized role of House Speaker in a future parliament. Meanwhile, the country's election commission has released final results from the May 14 election, with Move Forward keeping its position as the clear winner, garnering 151 seats. The eight-party coalition now accounts for 312 seats in the 500-seat parliament.

It seems that Thailand is still governed by an absolute monarchy. Currently, the winning party has not been able to form a government.

The leader of Thailand's Move Forward party, Mr. Pita, won the election but faces opposition from military-appointed Senators. International vigilance is necessary to uphold democratic principles and grasp the broader ramifications of their resistance.

with 312 seats and yet unable to form govt within time limit given, it will turn to be biggest joke history if he fail to elect..

[@ken-je9oi]

If Move forward leader became PM, Pheu Thai should be speaker of the house

312 is good enough to form a government.
