Newly elected representatives attend their first meeting at the parliament on Tuesday. Mr Pichet said on Thursday that the three sessions were planned for July 13, 19 and 20, and they should provide enough time for the election of the new prime minister. When asked if Pheu Thai would lead the coalition if the three sessions fail to make Mr Pita as the prime minister, Mr Pichet said that would depend on the parliament and eight coalition parties. There will be internal discussions and there should not be any problem," Mr Pichet said. He also said that he was unsure how many senators would vote for Mr Pita.
