The Move Forward Party (MFP) will step aside and let Pheu Thai Party take the lead in forming the new government if its leader Pita Limjaroenrat fails to get enough support from senators in a prime ministerial vote, according to Pheu Thai sources.
In return, Pheu Thai will back down and let the MFP take the House speakership as the House of Representatives will convene to select the new speaker and two deputies on Tuesday, the sources said.
