The Election Commission’s (EC) endorsement of all 500 MPs-elect has paved the way for parliament to convene and choose a new prime minister.
The Move Forward Party (MFP) won the largest number of house seats in the May 14 general election and formed an alliance with seven parties that agreed to support of its leader Pita Limjaroenrat in the prime minister’s vote.
While the MFP-led bloc has mustered a total of 312 seats within the alliance, which can ensure a majority government, securing Mr Pita’s premiership is a daunting challenge for the MFP. And as things stand, the Pheu Thai Party, its ally and the first runner-up, is widely seen as being in a better position to get the prime ministership.
