The countdown has begun to the start of a new Thai parliament session, with the Election Commission’s official certification of the results of the Feb 8 poll. A speaker and deputy speaker will be chosen, after which the House will choose a prime minister, who will move to form a government. A new government is expected to ​begin working in April, a senior figure in the coalition-leading Bhumjaithai Party of Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said. The initial session will focus on electing the House Speaker and deputies. The Pheu Thai Party is reportedly planning to nominate Manaporn Charoensri, an MP from Nakhon Phanom and deputy party leader, for a deputy House speaker post.
