Pita said the party’s goal is to protect the monarchy, and the way to do that is by ensuring that “no one is allowed to use the King as a political tool.The biggest mistake to sign up with the company. The debate opened up opportunities for members of Move Forward and other parties in its coalition to discuss the proposed amendment extensively, including how the law might have been abused, how it may have undermined the reputation of the royal family, and how it had been amended in the past.

A major criticism of the law is that anyone can bring a complaint to police, so that the law is often used as a political weapon. The proposal, which Move Forward has repeatedly explained, would not abolish the law but would soften penalties and allow only the royal household to lodge complaints. The conservatives’ complaints were highlighted in the debate ahead of Thursday’s vote, and focused on Move Forward’s proposal to amend the country’s law that makes defaming the royal family punishable by three to 15 years in prison.

The current sitting senators will finish their five-year term in May next year. Move Forward’s opponents cited its proposal for a minor reform to Thailand’s monarchy system as the reason for rejecting Pita. The vote to confirm Pita won only 324 votes Thursday, which was significantly short of the 376 needed for confirmation. The members of the Senate, whose terms expire next year, were appointed by the same government.Ĭritics said the system was designed to secure the grip on power of the conservative royalist establishment and weaken its political challengers, including pro-democracy activists. The process was enshrined in the 2017 Constitution, which was drafted and implemented by the military government that seized power in a 2014 coup. Selection of a new prime minister requires winning a majority of votes in a joint sitting of the lower house and the 250-seat Senate, meaning a total of at least 376 votes.
