In the vote for Prime Minister, Pita Limjaroenrat, the leader of Move Forward, failed to be elected. An absolute majority of Representatives and Senators is required. He won 311 of the 500 (elected) Representatives, but only 13 of the 250 (military-appointed) Senators backed him. So overall: 324 voted in favour 182 voted against 199 abstained Incredibly surprising, of course... And the winner will be - as was obvious since electionNight - electionLo(o)ser PT.

Parliament has voted against Pita being allowed a second attempt at being elected Prime Minister. As Georg Ebner said, it looks likely that Pheu Thai will lead the government. The question is whether they will be getting there with the backing of Move Forward or / and military parties.
