Second PM vote on July 19 if first session fails: WanIf Move Forward Party (MFP) leader Pita Limjaroenrat fails to secure the votes required to become Thailand's next prime minister in the first House session set for next Thursday, then a second round of voting is likely to be held on July 19, said House speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha on Thursday. However, the House speaker noted the date has yet to be set in stone. "I think the three days should be enough," said the Pheu Thai MP for Chiang Rai. He also said that he was unsure how many senators would vote for Mr Pita at this stage. He said he was optimistic that the first vote would run as smoothly as the election of the House speaker on July 4.
