Senate Speaker Pornpetch Wichitcholchai has denied having instructed senators on who to vote for in the prime ministerial poll, adding that the Move Forward Party (MFP) has not approached him to support its leader Pita Limjaroenrat becoming premier yet.
Mr Pornpetch on Tuesday downplayed reports of MFP supporters pressuring senators into backing Mr Pita’s prime ministerial bid, saying the pressure only came from social media. He said he had never instructed senators on how they should vote in the poll and that the MFP had not sent anyone to ask him to persuade senators to vote for Mr Pita.
