On Wednesday, the leader of Thailand’s election-winning Move Forward Party, Pita Limjaroenrat,

Met with new obstacles. After more than seven hours of debate, the lawmakers denied him the chance to stand for a second parliamentary vote for prime minister. They argued that a motion for him to be endorsed as the prime minister of Thailand had already been rejected in last week’s vote.

Later on, Pita said that he was expecting “pre-planned” obstacles. He said, “Thailand has not been the same since May 14. We have come halfway from the people’s victory and there is another half to go.”

During the May election, the Move Forward Party, led by Pita Limjaroenrat, won the majority of votes. The Pheu Thai Party emerged in the second position.
