The wrangle over the House speaker position has taken a new turn as the Pheu Thai Party may not be so keen on the Move Forward Party (MFP) filling the role after all, after it apparently displayed a lukewarm reaction to the Pheu Thai proposal.
In its latest proposal, Pheu Thai would support MFP leader Pita Limjaroenrat's bid to become prime minister.
But if Mr Pita failed to secure sufficient support from senators during a vote, he must step aside and allow Pheu Thai to try to form a coalition government.
