Pheu Thai urged to hurry up and form new governmentPheu Thai supporters on Tuesday call for one of the party's PM candidates to be nominated for the top job. A group of red-shirt supporters calling themselves the Media Alliance for Democracy arrived at the Pheu Thai headquarters on Tuesday to offer moral support as the party struggles to assemble a new government. Pheu Thai has taken the leading role after the Move Forward Party (MFP), which emerged as the biggest party at the May 14 election, failed to do so. The group also said Pheu Thai has the right to include parties opposing amendments to the lese majeste law in the new government it is trying to create. In addition, any one of the Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidates -- Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Srettha Thavisin and Chaikasem Nitisiri -- must be nominated for a vote in parliament without delay.
