Move Forward leader suggests House speakership should be settled internally

14 Sept 02:19 Key points summarised by AI

Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat urged the 8-party coalition to internally resolve the dispute over the House speakership, prioritizing unity to establish true democracy.
The conflict arises from differing views between Move Forward and Pheu Thai regarding the speakership, which Pita deemed insignificant compared to the coalition's main tasks.
Pheu Thai deputy leader Phumtham Wechayachai rejected a third-party speaker, maintaining that the position must go to either Move Forward or Pheu Thai, asserting Pheu Thai's claim as Move Forward is expected to take the chief executive role.
Both parties formed negotiating teams to discuss policies, including the speakership, with Pheu Thai noting a lack of official communication from Move Forward's team and stressing that resolutions should come from these internal discussions.
