The House speaker will serve as Parliament president. After the results were announced, acting speaker Chai Chidchob closed the meeting at 7.08pm. The Pheu Thai side won 248-246 with two abstentions: those of Mr Chai and Thepthai Senapong of the Democrats. Five PPRP MPs voted no the first time. They later asked Mr Chai to change their votes before the counting but there were no rules allowing it.
