Anyone who is suspended by the Constitutional Court pending legal proceedings cannot be nominated for prime minister, according to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam.
Amid an ongoing legal case, they cannot be nominated because they would not be able to perform their duties should they be selected, said Mr Wissanu.
He was responding to a question asked apparently in reference to Move Forward Party (MFP) leader Pita Limjaroenrat’s political situation.
