Pheu Thai’s candidate for premier faces roadblock
Pheu Thai prime ministerial candidate, Srettha Thavisin, faces a more challenging road ahead after the Move Forward Party (MFP) announced yesterday it would not vote for a Pheu Thai prime minister candidate.
MFP secretary-general Chaithawat Tulathon told a press conference that the party MPs decided not to back the Pheu Thai candidate because the party did not want to support an inter-bloc government.
He said the coalition being formed by Pheu Thai went against the people’s mandate as it comprised several parties in the outgoing government, while the outcome of the May 14 election indicated people wanted change.
