Srettha affirmed the unity of the two largest parties in the lower House after they abruptly cancelled talks on Wednesday on the post of House speaker.
BANGKOK : Pheu Thai Party prime minister candidate Srettha Thavisin insisted on Wednesday that his party and the Move Forward Party remained united to support Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat as the next prime minister.
Srettha said he believed the talks would go on as there were still a few more days before the House would sit and elect the House speaker on July 4. Srettha downplays differences over speaker, says coalition still unitedSrettha said he thought the postponement of talks between the eight partners had nothing to do with squabbling over the House speaker’s post.
Asked whether Pheu Thai’s fight for the post of House speaker could lead changes in the coalition, Srettha replied: “There will be no changes because Pheu Thai and Move Forward are still holding hands firmly until the next government is formed.”
