Pita accepts vote result but is not giving up
Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat's initial bid for Thailand's prime minister failed, receiving 324 votes against the required 375.
Pita, despite accepting the vote result, affirmed he is not giving up and will strategize for the next vote scheduled for July 19th.
Many senators opposed or abstained from voting for Pita due to his party's unwavering stance on reforming the controversial lèse-majesté law (Article 112).
