"Chaithawat" answered the call "Chalermchai" but did not answer the call, just checked the opposite voice, reiterated the nomination of "Pita" as Prime Minister, raised the criteria for appointing an independent body of senators. . Will try to the maximum, look at "Gen. Prawit" has no chance to become Prime Minister
Mr. Chaitawat Tulathon, Member of Parliament and Secretary General of the Kao Klai Party as party representative Came to a whip meeting, 3 parties admitted that they actually called Mr. Chalermchai Sri-on, secretary of the Democrat Party. but did not receive the call with the intention of checking the attitude of the Democratic Party to see what their opinions are If there is a proposal for the Prime Minister from the minority, there is nothing and does not ask for more votes, if it has to be brought to the party meeting first. Including discussing at the meeting of the 8 parties as well
As for motion, Article 41 of the Parliament, on the opposite side, there may be a proposal not to vote for the Prime Minister as Mr. Phitha repeatedly. How are you preparing to talk to the 3-party whip? Agreed that it should not be interpreted that the Prime Minister's vote is a general motion under Article 41 if interpreted that way. would even go against the constitution. Because the prime minister's vote is clearly separated according to the constitution, there is a process with clear selection criteria. This is similar to the selection of an independent body of senators (senators), which used to be some in the past. Sometimes there are repeated nominations. I don't see any interpretations that fall within that kind of regulation. There are specific ways to come out of the general rules, according to the constitution, there will probably be discussions.
As for having to talk about whether the Constitutional Court accepts Mr. Phitha's case or not, Mr. Chaitawat said no, it is unlikely to be involved in the process of voting for the prime minister. This story will be the same as in the case of Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit in 2019. Former leader of the Future Forward Party The Constitutional Court ordered to temporarily suspend his duties, but was still able to be nominated as a prime ministerial candidate.
As for the case in which the parliament is unable to nominate Mr. Phitha for the 2nd round, will the Kao Klai Party give the Pheu Thai Party the right to continue? establishment of government We are committed to establishing a successful government. If there is no significant change in voting And if there is an agenda that the Kao Klai Party proposes an amendment to the constitution, Section 272, cannot be included in time before the 3rd Prime Minister's vote, we must allow the country to move forward. by opening the way for the Pheu Thai Party
for the numbers said to be significant How much must it be? We can see the numbers, it can be estimated. If the numbers move like this people have hope
When asked if it means that the 3rd round may be Mr. Phitha or not, Mr. Chaitawat said that's right. It must be an opportunity for the country. I want politics to continue In fact, even though we have legitimate rights in a normal parliamentary system, But of course we understand that we are in an unusual situation. must try my best I think that the final goal that must be grasped is to form an 8-party government.
When asked if the Pheu Thai Party had asked for a clear figure, how much would it cost to form a government instead, Mr. Chaitawat said he had not talked about that much. But the conclusion is that it has an important significance. As for the number 344 yesterday, it may be because Mr. Phitha gave an example of 10% more votes, but he thought that there was no fixed formula.
Mr. Chaitawat also mentioned that there may be a nomination for Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, leader of the Palang Pracharat Party. Prime Minister's Chair that I'm not worried We try to check the situation. I think it's impossible to nominate General Prawit. but can offer which he did not believe would pass According to a comprehensive assessment, the senators themselves are not unity, 10 parties, 188 votes are unlikely to be unity on this matter, so there is little concern about this matter, ”said Chaitawat.
When asked if tomorrow the parliament passed a resolution to dismiss because it was a motion Whether to give the right to the Pheu Thai Party or not, or wait for Section 272, Mr. Chaitawat said it was up to the Speaker of the House how to include the agenda of Section 272.
