Pita Limjaroenrat, the leader of Thailand’s Move Forward Party who was seeking another chance to get backing from the country's parliament to become prime minister, has been suspended as a lawmaker by the Thai high court.
Thailand’s de facto legalization of marijuana last year has brought a wave of tourists from around Asia intrigued by the lure of the forbidden leaf.
The Senate’s members, along with the army and the courts, are considered to be the conservative royalist establishment’s bulwark against change. House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha was set to decide the matter after a debate. He was elected to the House from one of the smaller parties in the coalition backing Pita’s bid but has said he must consider the arguments for and against re-nominating Pita.
He or she would come from the Pheu Thai party, which won 141 seats in the election, just 10 less than Move Forward’s 151. The eight-party coalition seeking to take power won 312 House seats in all, a majority of elected lawmakers.
