House Speaker asked to not permit re-nomination of Pita for PM

A political activist urged the House Speaker to block Pita Limjaroenrat's re-nomination for Prime Minister, citing potential violations of the Constitution and parliamentary rules against repeat motions.
The activist also highlighted Pita's ongoing disqualification case concerning ITV shareholding, arguing he should not have been nominated at all.
Pita failed his initial bid for premiership on July 13, securing only 324 of the required 375 votes, yet his party plans to re-nominate him on July 19.
House legal advisers are currently reviewing the legality of re-submitting the nomination, with the activist recommending the Speaker consult with the Senate president and legal experts before deciding.
