Parliament will choose a new prime minister, who will form a cabinet likely next month, but its exact makeup is not yet known after a March 24 election produced no clear winner. However, a military-linked party aiming to keep current junta leader Prayuth Chan-ocha in power is expected to have the edge in cementing power under rules written by the military government. “May the members of parliament be aware of the importance and responsibility of their duties,” King Vajiralongkorn, accompanied by his new Queen Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana, said. Thanathorn has denied the charge and said he had already transferred his shares before he officially registered. Some other 100 elected members of parliament from other parties have not officially aligned with either side.
