BMA prepares for Pita’s “Judgement Day” on Thursday

11 Sept 22:16 Key points summarised by AI

Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) prepares a 10,000-person capacity space near parliament for supporters of Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat ahead of Thursday's prime ministerial vote.
House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha briefs political parties on parliamentary regulations for the joint sitting, confirming no mandatory vision statement for prime ministerial candidates unless approved by the meeting.
Pita Limjaroenrat, the sole prime ministerial candidate, faces a critical challenge as the Election Commission (EC) considers petitioning the Constitutional Court over his alleged shareholding in iTV, a media company, a move the Move Forward party condemns as hasty and lacking due process.
