Move Forward Party (MFP) seeks additional time for leader Pita Limjaroenrat to present his vision and clarify contentious policies, notably the lèse majesté law amendment, before the July 13th prime ministerial selection.
The party aims to address misunderstandings among MPs and senators, many of whom oppose the lèse majesté amendment, hoping these clarifications will secure Pita's selection as prime minister in the initial parliamentary sitting.
