The United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration (UFTD) organized a rally to pressure senators into endorsing Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat as Thailand's next Prime Minister.
Protesters asserted that unelected senators must respect the people's democratic mandate, highlighted by Pita's party securing 152 seats in the recent election.
Concerns were raised that Pita's premiership might be jeopardized due to his proposed amendment of the lèse majesté law (Section 112), prompting UFTD to plan further advocacy to secure senatorial support.
