Pheu Thai party list MP Sutin Klungsang on Thursday revealed three scenarios for forming the next government. Sutin on Wednesday renominated Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat as the prime minister, however the parliament voted down the renomination, ending Pita’s hope for the position.
- The Move Forward party finds a solution, with the other seven members of the coalition and senators, about amending the lèse majesté law.
- The eight parties stay together and work in opposition.
- The Pheu Thai party parts ways with Move Forward and leads the government coalition.
Sutin said that it is not a dead end for the forming of the government yet, but he thought the process should not go as far as nominating an outsider to be the prime minister, adding that this would be unacceptable for him. An outsider as PM means parliament has failed.
He said, even though the eight parties have signed an MoU to work together, there might come a time when the decision has to be made. They might ask Move Forward to compromise on their policy on the lèse majesté law. “It is the time the benefit of the people and the country should be prioritized” he added.
