Pheu Thai made a last-minute offer to the opposition People's party, proposing its PM candidate Chaikasem Nitisiri and immediate House dissolution, to gain crucial support for the upcoming prime ministerial vote.
The People's party already holds an agreement with the Bhumjaithai party to back their candidate, Anutin Charnvirakul, under conditions including House dissolution within four months and a new charter referendum.
People's party officials urged a postponement of the PM vote, demanding clarification from the Caretaker Prime Minister regarding the status of a Royal decree for House dissolution, which was reportedly rejected.
