Senators hit back at supporters of the Move Forward Party (MFP) who have launched a "witch hunt" on social media against them after its leader Pita Limjaroenrat failed to secure enough support in parliament to become the new prime minister on Thursday.
Of the 206 senators attending the voting on Mr Pita's prime ministerial nomination in parliament, 13 voted in his favour, 34 against and 159 abstained while another 43 senators were absent.
