Pheu Thai will propose its prime ministerial candidate to parliament on July 27th, following Move Forward's decision to cede leadership in forming the eight-party coalition government.
The party aims to secure parliamentary approval for its candidate, acknowledging that Move Forward's stance on the lèse majesté issue hindered its previous attempt.
Pheu Thai plans to amend the Constitution swiftly after forming the new government and will select one of its three candidates (Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Srettha Thavisin, or Chaikasem Nitisiri) by July 16th.
