MPs have a chat as the House meeting experienced a delay over the election of the House Speaker on Saturday. Chai Chidchob, acting House speaker, on Saturday called for MPs to vote on whether to postpone the House speaker election after it became clear that a number of politicians, mostly from the pro-military PPRP, had not returned to the session. Meanwhile, Anucha Nakasai, PPRP-Chai Nat, reportedly admitted that he and a group of fellow MPs intentionally voted against the postponement of the vote for House speaker. The intentional "wrong voting" resulted in the Palang Pracharath camp's first defeat in the House. However, the party managed to resolve its internal conflict with the Sam Mitr faction over Mr Chuan's nomination and the vote for the House speakership later proceeded.
