The voting for Prime Minister (PM) has postponed to a later date seeing Pheu Thai will be ruling the parliament.
What blocked Pita Limjaroenrat to be the PM is the article 272 which is supported by the 'old' people. and the monarchy system change.
Article 272 states that for the first five years of Parliament under the current Constitution, the new prime minister shall be elected by a joint sitting of Parliament. The candidate must gain votes from “more than half of the total number of existing members of both Houses” to be successful.
Article 272 also allows for the nomination of an outsider who is not among party nominees for PM – provided the nomination is approved by at least two-thirds of all 750 members of Parliament (500 votes).
